I'm composing this on my brand new iPad. The other day I mentioned to my students that I had this gadget on order, and I was surprised by their enthusiasm. "Will you bring it to school?" somebody wondered.
"Can I touch it?" another girl asked.
My answers were yes and yes. The oldest of three, I'm a really good sharer; plus, what fun is a new toy if you keep it all to yourself? The students seemed beside themselves in delight, and one even posted about our conversation on her slice that evening--
Just in case we really needed reminding that technology is supremely engaging to kids.

Enjoy your new toy. I've had mine for months and don't know what I'd do without it. My boys have their games and I have my reading, blogging, games, and journaling all in one spot. I love technology!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! My husband loves his and we all use it some. He got me a Mac Air recently and I'm in love with it. My kids think I'm terribly cool now. :)
