Peer-Peet

Wow, what an awesome comment. I am currently working on a Doctorate and the focus of my study is the benefits of cooperative learning for students with high functioning autism. I am a parent of a 13 year old child with autism. I belive in the simply process of allowing children to learn from their peers. This video makes me smile and want to labor on because I know that children learn best when doing and from their own peer group. Keep up the good work.
