How about a list of websites with tools and resources to help high school counselors.
Scholar Boxremoves the loose papers and data entry associated with maintaining scholarship lists.
What other helpful tools are out there for our counselors?
Keyboarding is a skill that is demanded in the Common Core Standards. How would you like to ask 5th grade students w/o keyboarding skills to type a 2 page paper in one sitting? 4th graders only need to type one page at a sitting, but that's still a lot when I don't think we ask them to write that much at one time.
The students in my elementary school only get 15-20 minutes of recess each day because we need to spend more time on math and reading. Yet now we must spend time on teaching them to type. But that's another discussion.
