Reflection:
    Working with my student, Lisa, was a great experience.  We explored my Hub page and then completed the entire "HORSE ADVENTURE." Lisa thought this page was wonderful and exciting.  She really seemed to enjoy all of the sites that I picked for her.  Activity #1 went very well; however, she felt the activity was a little difficult.  All of the sites were working wonderfully throughout the entire session with Lisa.  We both enjoyed the activity so much that we have planned to get together again for further internet/computer adventures.  I feel that students like Lisa can really benefit from the use of technology.  Technology should be focused on more in the everyday classroom.

Congratulations LISA!!! You did a wonderful job on this computer activity.  I am very proud of you!!!!
