Book Circle #Amplify

I read this book just in time for my Service Learning project. I used a lot of ideas out of it for my Service Learning.
This book is pretty user friendly but it doesn't seem to be based around much data. I am wondering how their students do academically and if they are noticing a huge academic difference benefit?

A lot of their practices are on students helping each other. I keep trying this in my class but my students are so intoned to what they are doing it is hard for them to stop and help their neighbor get logged in I started to feel guilty always relying on my students to help so I try to fix most technology issues myself. I think I need to do what they did and have a discussion about how there is only one teacher so they need to help each other.

I love following the author's twitter accounts they have some really need stuff. I stole some of it for my classroom :).

I noticed their kids have ear buds for headphones I am wondering if each student has their own set and how they store them? I am debating if I should go that route. My students break headphones weekly.
