Mrs. D'Alonzo is a wonderful teacher and attending her class is a unique experience that every student should have. On a typical school day, students sit in gaming chairs, work on their own computers and projects, and enjoy the colorful LED lights and projection screens that showcase their work. Mrs. D'Alonzo moves around the room to help students or does a demonstration on the board with a microphone so all can hear. Video game music plays softly in the background, like Zelda or Mario while students work on their incredible computer games and assist each other. Mrs. D'Alonzo uses technology to make her classroom an amazing place for everyone lucky enough to visit.
