Have you ever wondered what people do while they are at work? For some professions, it is easy to picture. You probably have a good idea of the types of tasks that teachers need to accomplish and how they use technology to accomplish these tasks.

In this project, you will interview three professionals to gather information about the types of hardware, software, and other emerging technology they use in their places of business.
