Sometimes the things that seem to be the most simple are the most difficult to get a handle on. One time I typed a password over and over and it didn't work.

Patience and perseverance is about the only way I have found to overcome problems associated with technology.
Students become active researchers in order to find information about a topic.
If we are looking for something and cannot find it with what seems to be an obvious keyword, they get very good at coming up with other keywords to try in a search. Sometimes they don't have the same limitations that I have because I have my mind set on what I want to find. The Internet really does put the world at our fingertips. The resources are endless. The best part is that there is no opening and closing time.
