Have a Lisa Simpson in your classroom? If so, it might look a little something like this...(the main point of this clip ends at 0.44 seconds, I am unable to shorten the video.)
We all know that Lisa Simpson excels in school. Her family most likely falls under the middle class category, but that's not to say that she lives in an average home of course. Her brother Bart is a very different story when it comes to school.
Lisa is very mature for her age. She is the definition of a "straight A student. She is very involved in her academics as well as extracurricular activities. She is an extremely bright student with incredible manners and great behavior skills. She loves all subjects and is very talented on her saxophone.
As we know, Lisa is definitely "college ready." Let's go over some strategies and technologies that will help Lisa to continue to succeed in school.
Online courses: When Lisa doesn't have time in her schedule for anymore classes, except after school or on the weekends then maybe the many types of online courses are right for her. She can sit in the comfort of her own home and continue to go to school when she is not even physically there!
E-Reader: These little digital books are great ways to save trees and your back! Lisa loves to read books, it doesn't matter what kind. She would read everything if she could. So what better way than to have access to every book possible in the palm of your hands?
Noise-canceling headphones: Lisa loves to study and she needs her peace and quiet to do so. Noise-cancelling headphones says it all! This way Lisa can study in her element and not be distracted by her loud household.
What other technology would help her or what other technologies would help your students?
