I’ve got problems, you have problems, but Paul Swanson has HUGE problems.  So big, he calls them real problems, or even, 21st Century problems.

While this may sound like Paul has a lot of personal issues, what I am really talking about is Paul’s teaching methodology for engaging our students in real work with real world problems.

Today Paul explains how technology allows our students to connect, relate and solve real world problems while learning valuable skills along the way.

“The competition to get student attention is extremely high today”
