Conquering Technology Challenges
As an educator, I am constantly looking for and at new ways to use technology to empower my students so that they can take ownership of their learning.

Thus, there is a lot that can be achieved with new technology. However, these developments are not without their challenges.
One significant obstacle in this practice is the varying levels of access to technology among students.

Student Smoking Behavior Given that the health risks of smoking are very well-known, one would think that smoking would be rare behavior among college students. After all, the average college student is not only young enough to have been exposed to anti-smoking education throughout their lifetimes, but might also values education more than their same-age peers who are not students. However, according to the research, young people, including college students, do
Student Engagement Post-Secondary Education Kuh, Cruze, Shoup, Kinzie, Gonyea (2008) provided that a college or post-secondary education degree is crucial in attaining individual, communal and societal achievement or progress.
