Struggling Student

One of the students in my class seems to loose interest quickly when working on classroom activities. I noticed from the survey the interest of this student is geared towards computers and graphics. Although those subject are covered in Tech. Ed., we are currently on another field of study. In order to help this student engage in the current material, elements from the subjects of interest could be integrated into the current lesson. For instance instead of learning about the different types of bridges from conventional studies, Bridge Designer a computer program which allows students to build a bridge and test it revealing its strengths and weaknesses could be used.
