I teach high school special education. I have to do "portfolio assessments" on my students who do not take the state mandated tests. It is hard to find good activities for the portfolios that are easy enough for my students, but meet high-school grade level learning objectives, and are age appropriate. Just because my students are at kindergarten-2nd grade level doesn't mean that I can use primary grade workbooks. This book is very good for all grades and would work for anyone who has to adapt lessons to meet needs of students at different levels. I stumbled across this book as one of those suggested items (people who bought this book, also bought this other book) that always pop up when you order. I LOVE this book. As soon as I got it I marched my kids down to the computer lab and did the first project in the book. It went perfectly. We have done several of the projects and they are all so easy and impressive. My students love it. Everything is set out in step-by-step directions so clearly. I loaned the book to a co-worker. She returned it the next day and said she didn't need it any longer because she went to Amazon and ordered her own copy.
