Education has drastically changed with the emergence of technology. Approximately 80% of children now have access to a computer at home and start using the Internet at an early age. While this has its benefits in developing future skills that will be vital to them later on, it also has its dangers. Lauren Naylor of Grapevine, Texas warns that it could be a gateway to cyberbullying––an epidemic that affects close to 43% of children, with repeated attacks in one in four cases.

About a decade ago, I felt like I was out of answers about how to help all my students be successful. Admittedly, about 80 percent of them were doing well, but I was having real trouble helping the remaining students gain a firm grasp of math concepts. I was in my 15th year of teaching and I felt that by this point in my career I should know what to do.
