I am seeing with my kids the lack of an opportunity to get comfortable with computers and therefore they are not as far along as I would like. Being the primary tech teacher you have an advantage to work with your students ad get to know them, as well as plan curriculum. Nice project that teaches transferable skills, too.csierrajoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583538632026462612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455277877526948409.post-32973136149655824472009-11-13T18:26:04.113-08:002009-11-13T18:26:04.113-08:00It is always more meaningful to learn something th...It is always more meaningful to learn something that is useful to you personally. I think having them learn how to use excel by looking at their own grades is a real life situation that will have them retaining the information. Will you be starting this project with your new students too?Tarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733470478085213335noreply@blogger.com
