This week of class gave me greater insight into what we are doing with the middle school children. I was concerned that a tech project over a period of just a few weeks could potentially be too much for the children – both because it was too much work and because a lot of time would be spent calming the children down. But seeing the simple technology makes me feel more comfortable with the final project. Also, knowing that it doesn’t have to be a technology and can simply be a game of “trash soccer” also puts less stress on me.

I haven’t worked with middle school kids in two years and I’m curious as to what I can teach them and what they can teach me.
