I try very hard to incorporate computers in to my classroom but it usually does not happen. We have one computer for my class. There is not funding for computer games. I try to have the students use games that I have found on the internet. Usually the connection is to slow and they often get frustrated and give up because it is so slow. Many times the games require the students to be able to read but my students don’t. There is not enough help in the classroom for someone to be able to sit down and work on the games with the students.
I can totally relate. Sometimes I want to use the computers for a workshop so I can take a reading group, but then the computers start acting up and the kids come and bther me during the reading group to try to get help!!!!! AAHHHHHHHH! I think we all know how this feels!
