One of the senior boys came by and said, with a look of great concern on his face, "Mrs. E. did you steal those?" <BR/><BR/>I think this experiment has not only engaged the kids but let them know that their teachers are not all out of touch dinosaurs.

Now that I've found your site, it will take me a while to read through your posts, so I started at some older ones. I completely agree with "Somehow it’s more frustrating to have to learn how do something a second time than it is the first." Sometimes I'll learn something, but then if I don't practice it, and put it into place right away, I have to relearn it or at least do some serious refreshing and it is SO frustrating. I envy those who are playing with the technology constantly, so the idea of forgetting how to use the tools is completely foreign to them. Our school is still at the "don't bring technology to school because it could get stolen" stage, so it was with awe that I read about your ipod touch classes! It sounds pretty exciting (and inspiring!) Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
