### The discussion:

<https://welstech.wels.org/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/464.jpg>Goodbye and hello – After 8 years of guest hosting on WELSTech, Gail Potratz, Technology Director at Emanuel in New London, WI, has laid down her microphone to make room for others. Fortunately for our WELSTech community, Martin, and Sallie, we have a new “semi-regular classroom technology correspondent” to introduce, Rachel Feld, 1st and 2nd grade teacher from [Bethany](http://www.bethanykenosha.org/default/140002050) in Kenosha, WI. This week we get to know Rachel and learn more about iPads in her classroom.
