He was caught sneaking into the computer lab without permission, he was never interested in technology or had taken any of classes. Gary was making computer programming all on his own without instruction and enjoyed it a lot. Although he was breaking into the computer lab, he was put in a class and was highly confident with his work. The teacher seen this as an opportunity to provide programming for herself and for her students. She created a way for problem solving in technology for students to develop technical skills. Especially with Apple laptops, students were able to not have to program but be able to use the new type of technology in classroom. The students and teachers solved community problems using technology by developing student interview with members from the community to help students understand the Apple software. Allowing those of the community to come in and helps students as well as their own knowledge to learn technology. For the teacher to go out of her way to begin this assistance for her students just from an experience showed her devotion she had for her students learning. Students were able to build their ownership of understanding the software.
