  Case: Frustrated
I have a student who is low level at math and reading because he doesn't get much practice at home. I make sure to give him the time necessary for I-station and ST math in order to raise his levels. Unfortunately, he gets so frustrated on the games when he doesn't get it right or has to start over. He starts to cry and hits the computer and doesn't continue to learn because of his frustration. what should I do to make sure he gets the best out of his computer time and how should I help him to avoid getting frustrated?

Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Maybe the computer doesn't benefit him as much as you'd like it to. Explore some other options to see if they help him get through this difficult subject. There are a lot of hands on activities other than the computer to aid him - try some out and see if they work better for him.

Comments: I agree with you and think that there are other hands on activities other than the computer to help him learn. Every student learns differently and maybe for this student he needs a different hands on / visual aid to help him grasp / practice the concept.

Comments: In my training I am often taught that manupilitives, such as coins, snacks, etc. can better aid students. Maybe there is a certain one to help this student. maybe they need a visual representation of the material.
