As I walked around the classroom to help students with nomenclature, I noticed that one of the primarily struggle most students have is the inability to understand the common factor or how to balance something out. Even during after school tutoring, I am surprised by how much students are afraid to ask questions of teachers or even at times to take advantage of free tutoring when they are struggling to understand something.
Even though technology plays a huge role in society and our own daily lives' because I believe we all check our emails every day, students still do not take advantage of it. I recall a few weeks ago almost all of my students had no idea what excel or powerpoint presentation was. I think the reason for this is that although there are so many available application and technology now, most students cannot take advantage of them until they are taught by their parents, peers, or teachers. For example, I believe that students understand how to use Microsoft word to only an extent because they need to type up an essay or something, but I am amaze how much they still do not know about it, such as adding page numbers or to add in a header/footer.
