The hot currency to kids in my classes is ‘free’ computer time - as in, time on a computer DURING class, where they can choose their own activity. In my experience, so many teachers look down on this as simply a waste of computer lab time and a teacher not doing his/her job - I […]

I’m reporting, as promised, on the second parent workshop I led at my middle school. There were only 3 parents in attendance, but again, this allowed for more discussion and personal feedback.
