  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!)
Possibly the computer is not what he needs. They other resources such as worksheets and practice books. Technology does not aid in everyones learning.
