It is Thursday and that means tutoring!!! Unfortunately, today really was not that productive. I had registration today (and didn't get my classes!) so I was late getting to Carrboro. But when I did get there, there wasn't much I could do.
I tried to help some students study for a United States History test, but as we went over questions, they seemed to know the material quite well. I pretty much just gave them the same study tips that we have all heard: cross out the answers you know are not correct, yada yada yada.
One thing that does surprise me about the school, however, is the fact that the students have open access to technology. The school provides mobile labs complete with laptops for the students to use at their leisure, or the students may bring laptops from home to use. I also see the occasional student bounce to the beat of the music pounding from their ear phones as they walk the halls. The school seems much more supportive of student-used technology compared to others that I have seen. It's nice to observe how some school's are embracing the new age.

It's neat that the students have open access to technology like that. My high school was not up to date at all with technology and I think that that is one of the improvements that it needs to make in the future. -Taylor-
ReplyDeleteI also think that it is super cool they allow that stuff at school! If I were to bring any of my technology to my high school, it would have surely been taken away from me by administration!
