Chapter 6 Support Student Problem Solving

I am particular fond of the case study that starts this chapter. I believe that the teacher did a good job of using something that was relevent to the studnets to teach problem solving. It is important for teachers to teach and create opportunities for problem solving because out in the "real world" this is something they will be doing on a daily basis. Something that stuck out to me in this chapter was the guideline #3 under "Guildlines for Technology-Supported Problem Sovling". The guideline states, " Do not do what students can do." That is something that I will need to be intentional about doing because at times I want to just do things myself because I want it done "right" and within a timely manner. But I need to remember that if the students are doing it, they are learning!
