Our students have so many resources using technology, but I have found that they are getting frustrated using these resources. Where is this frustration coming from? The touchpad on the Cloudbooks. They are difficult to use and do not respond well. My students get upset when they answer the correct answer on a test, but the touchpad has other ideas for them. This problem is having a negative effect on test scores and learning.
Having a mouse would allow my students more accuracy and freedom while using the amazing technology that is available to them. They will be able to learn with less frustration from a problem with an easy fix.
