I already know you know

I already know you know that left unsupervised, the average high school student will goof off and do nothing for you in a classroom.

Want "proof"? Here ya go.

That being said, I try really hard not to let my students loose on a computer lab without any guidance. I'm not an optimist at heart when it comes to letting people "just work on stuff on their own" ... I know better. Direct supervision is so necessary it's almost scary. Some call me Big Brother when I get into the Computer Lab ... but it's either that or I have to listen to that Arnold sound board ... again.

Direction with a requirement to have something produced in a set period of time is what needs be done. Vague and overly happy sounding instructions are not what I see working in my classroom. Heck, there are days when I have to get my "Kindergarden teacher" voice going just to get them off of Facebook.

Finally, I'm trying to think of something positive to end with here. I think that there is something positive we have to do ... like hook up with this guy...

Finally here is another link about iTunes.
