  Case: Students on iPad
I am having a hard time integrating actual teaching into the classroom due to the fact that my students use Edgenuity. This is an online education program. I in my internship,however, have to be sure to teach these students. When I try to teach a lesson though (TEBD students) my students get mad and do not want to listen. Edgenuity allows students to have a lot of freedom and in class instruction does not. What am I to do? I am discouraged to teach my students.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would try my hardest to make the material interesting. This is a difficult thing to do with students that are used to working with a lot of technology, but it is still important to engage them. Also, if the students feel that the lesson is relevant to them, there are more likely to actively participate in classroom instruction.

Comments: I do not feel that this solution solves the problem. It is nearly impossible to make any type of material being taught relevant and interesting for every student in the class.

Comments: These students seem to be pretty tech savvy and if you don't incorporate technology into their lessons, you'll never gain their attention.
