by Tore O.

Jul 30, 2010

Hey everyone...what sorts of typing-tutor software do you use in your classroom? How well do you think it works, both in getting students to touch-type and how do students like it?

by Eric

Aug 12, 2010

The student becomes very tired after a few paragraphs. Currently he is using the dragon speaker program yet carrying a laptop, headphones, and microphone is very cumbersome. Is there new...See More

Technology with students today

by ELizabeth Reuss

Sep 8, 2010

In this day in age with more and more technological advances coming out, should students be able to use the latest technology even though some schools and teachers believe it is harming them more than helping them?
