These classes have a lot of group work constantly happening. The students kind of feed off one another's energies and it creates chaos because I've not yet figured out how to be seen as an authority figure or gain their respect to where they will listen to me in small group. 

Technology is constantly affecting students moods in class. They get mad when there's no technology, they get overwhelmed with over stimulation when there's too much technology, and they get upset when their technology is actually used for schoolwork and being monitored. This makes learning/teaching difficult due to there having to be a significant focus on managing theses moods.
