I found this article to be very informative and insightful. I was thankful for all the resources listed in caption form and I also appreciated the candor with which the author addressed some of the realistic concerns a teacher may be faced with when trying to implement such a project. I have found that students, regardless of their abilities, are motivated by what they value. Tapping into technology and developing an alternative outlet for them to achieve the same benchmarks as their more capable peers is a sure fire way to help them develop the confidence they need to continue to improve their skills. It allows them to face their own insecurities and provides supports to help them succeed. The whord is at the nexus of a new age. Transformative events and revolutionary trends are creating opportunities for change and we must prepare our students for these changes.
