1. Does the six hour handicap ring true with students or other children you have known? Yes, sometimes out of the school environment a student can function well. Kids that are hands on learners may look academically handicapped in the school setting. Some of the students know more than the teacher, but get bogged down in the classroom expectations and process. Sometimes students are not often encouraged to progress at their own pace.

2. How, in your opinion, do typical school environments cause us to tragically underestimate some student's abilities? How could it be prevented? Traditional schools don't ask them to perform on any other skill level other than their cognitive level.

3. Why do you think this situational handicap shows up most often in minorities? 4. How would you define digital or technological literacy? 5. Is it more important for students to be digitally literate today than it was five years ago? Why or Why not? 6. Would a project like MOUSE be advantageous for a student that attends this school? 7. Does mastery of digital skills tie into achievement in core content areas? Explain. If not, should they?
