Shortcomings There were not enough computers for the students
to access their online research and we did not have a printer.
The school does not buy The Wall Street Journal; consequently, I brought mine from home each day.

Revision Next year, I will take my classes to the media center where
there are more computers for the students to be able to do their research.
I had only one computer for my classes. I did not have a printer which was a real problem for my pupils.
With all of our difficulties, the students enjoyed the project very much which was the most important thing.

Summary This last year has been a very interesting one, indeed.
There is so much to learn about computers. I have learned a great deal from my students and from this program. Several times I nearly quit. However, my very good friends and mentors would not accept this. I did complete the program and am very pleased that I did. I hope the program continues , because it is of real value.
