Conservation of Mechanical Energy

Hello Teachers! I am still in the very early stages of experimenting and learning how to make videos.  Take a guess how much time I spent putting this 53-second "short" together... Nearly 5 hours!!!!! 5 hours AND you can still clearly tell it was done by a novice!  Sheesh! I know I can get that time down drastically with practice and experience... but my goodness!!! I am all ears for useful tricks of the trade!

There is most likely a reason (or more than one reason) as to why they are having this feeling of despair. I would like to dive into some of the more common reasons why a student may want to give up. From my personal experience, I will provide some insight on handling and navigating through these emotions with your students. Please, add to the conversation with your anecdotes and experiences too via comments or email me at getaheadlearning.info@gmail.com Join me.
