SOUTH OGDEN (AP) — A Utah teacher says the new gadgets that are being added to his classroom make even him excited to get to school.

Band instructor Joe Windsor of Roy High School says students can't wait to come in and see what's next.

Windsor was one of the winners of the Weber School Foundation's "Tech My Class" contest. His classroom is getting a high-tech overhaul with all the latest gadgets.

Third-grade teacher Melodie Larsen of Uintah Elementary was the other winner. She says the high-tech exposure will give students an advantage as they move forward in school.

Both teachers have been in makeshift rooms while the construction has been under way to upgrade their classrooms.
