In regards to Angie, here is my response.

First, I would tell Angie I was happy she approached me to take ownership of her learning. I would explain to her I would help her. I would need more information from her, though. I would ask her to tell me her schedule. We would look at how she could carve out more time since she cannot come after school. Could she come before school? Does she have a study hall that can be used? She could even have a working lunch.  Then we would discuss her accessibility to technology at home. Is it an equipment issue? Is someone else using the only computer? Do they have wireless access? If I trusted Angie, I could even suggest checking out a piece of technology that would allow her to complete her activities. Depending on Angie’s personality, we could involve her parents. I deal with 10-11 year-olds, so sometimes the parents do not know the expectations of an assignment. I would talk to her parent/s about the expectations of the class.
