Best/worst computer-related classroom happening:

My Latin partner is a distance learning student from another high school in the county. The expensive equipment we use is amazing when it works correctly. But, when it does not work, the thousands of dollars of equipment is reduced to the functions of a basic instant messaging program.

On a different note, one of the most bizarre ways I've helped someone with Latin is online. It's not everyday someone randomly messages you for Latin help on AIM. I definitely prefer tutoring in person.
