SOLUTIONS TO ANTICIPATED CHALLANGES CHALLENGES Students may not have computers at home to work on presentations and assignments. Some students may not be able to attempt high order thinking questions. Some students may require multimedia literacy skills to deliver presentations. SOLUTIONS Principal would be requested to allow students to practice in labs in their free periods. Pair the weak students with the good ones to improve their learning skills and enhance collaborative working. I will request the management to arrange additional IT awareness classes for students.
