I tutor "underprepared" students at the community college in a computer lab - and also help a lot of "returning" (i.e., significantly older than 19 ) students figure out how to navigate the computer for academic purposes and remember what School is. (Right now I'm designing a tutorial for "using assistive technology for academic purposes" and putting the finishing touches on a mess of reading comprehension exercises to go with "Freak the Mighty.")

We've been crazy busy this week ... but there's nothing quite like having said a few encouraging words at the right time so a student decides that yes, she can... I am so in awe of the people brave enough to put it on the line and get out there and go back to school
