How To Handle Problems When They Arise

There is no handbook that any educator can consult that will itemize all the problems that could arise when using technology. If in the classroom, the best policy is to be walking around amongst the students and dialoguing with each and every one of them or each and every group so that you know what they are and are not doing. However, problems will always creep up and it is amazing how often my students have helped me solve the problems. I was never afraid to ask my students for advice or assistance. Not only does it provide them with a sense of agency in the classroom, but it cultivates a sense of belonging to a team rather than being in there on your own. When we talk about being a guide on the side, that works both ways, ie just as easily from student to teacher, as the other way around.
