A 4th grade class at Olmito Elementary is in need of your vote to win $75,000 worth of technology!

Ms. Martinez's class made a two minute video showing why technology is important in education.

That video was selected as one of five finalists in a world-wide contest.

It features technology as a super hero who saves the day by making learning in the classroom more interactive and exciting.

"They use a lot of technology at home, so it's kind of an extension into the classroom for them to use technology as opposed to the paper and pencil," said teacher Lynn Martinez.  "They really enjoy using technology."
