Week+4+assignment

This week we covered using technology with students and team work. As a teacher, you need to see what resources and time limits you have. I teach middle school, so most are socially engaged in form or another during class anyway. The key is to get them out of their comfort groups as much as they will rebel. I sometimes use a random group generator or put them in group of four, letting two people pick a friend. In my discussion board post, I addressed how time is my enemy. Cramming a year long course into a semester is very challenging. We can't spend too much time on something, plus interruptions for pep rallies, assemblies among other things is another major hurdle.
