  3. A Teacher’s Perspective

  4. DO NOW Daniel often skips school to play football (soccer) with his friends. His parents receive a paper report card at the end of the school term that he is failing. He tells his parents he’s failing school because his teachers are always absent.

What are the communication problems in this scenario that a mobile solution can fix?
