I see this much more than I did when I taught other subjects.

It’s more impressive when they help out a staff member.

Giving the students power to be “in charge” makes me smile! I love to see my students confidence soar when they are able to help another student or even myself. It helps build relationships as well

These interactions can be rewarding because the students are happy to help and feel like they made an impact!


If one student had gotten onto the website that we need to get on and other students are struggling, I allow them to be my helper and help others.

The student that needs assistance feels supported by their peer while the person fixing the problem has the opportunity to boost their self esteem and confidence in being able to help others. Seeing other students help each other is a beautiful thing to witness.

In fact, one of my classroom jobs is to be the computer helper. Many students take pride in having this classroom job. I feel as if technology also helps students come out of their creative shells to a certain degree. I can see them put more of their personality into their work and they are less afraid to take risks with their work. When I see students taking these creative risks it makes me want to involve technology throughout the day!

This is a tool I was not familiar with but they taught me how to use it. They love to start a game independently when they finish their work early and have free time. They’ve used it to review states and capitals, US regions and math concepts.
