(Deming) -- A Bell  Elementary  School teacher has been awarded the Grand Prize in a "We Are Teachers" national  competition aimed at incorporating technology in the classroom.
   Fourth grade math and science  teacher Aaron Rogers submitted a contest entry application to Troxell Communications in Phoenix explaining how he would use the company's communications tools in teaching a lesson on the area and perimeter of a  rectangle to his fourth graders.
   Rogers' submission landed him  in the top ten of social media vote-getters for the contest... and ultimately  was chosen as the Grand Prize by Troxell officials.
   Rogers said his classroom will  be getting a document camera... new audio equipment... a projector system that  turns a digital projector into a smart board using a stylus instead of a  marker... and a student-response system allowing for immediate feedback on  questions posed to his students.
   Troxell officials have already  visited Rogers' classroom to visualize the space before the equipment is  delivered this summer.
   Rogers, who is completing his  third year at Bell School, said Troxell is paying for the equipment, its  installation and his training.
