Today, I allowed students to use test prep guides in class. I have a bunch of them, and I do hope they will be used by students in general. These hard-copy books were the hands-down favorite activity of the day. One student got his laptop, but the rest remained unused. I guess I should go out and buy as many of the 2010 versions as I can find tonight...
It is my hope that the students will again make more use of the laptops, but in the meantime, I will give them what they choose to use.
I am having one very advanced student who isn't making much use of his time. I am trying to figure out how to re-engage him.
