It really is amazing how much more children know today about technology, and how quickly they catch on. The other day I was babysitting Jodee's son Grayson, who is just beginning to learn how to read. We were watching legoland movies on my laptop and without being able to read any of the text on the screen, he was able to completely navigate the page without any of my help. He figured out how to make the screen full screen, moved back and forth between the home page and video pages...he just figured it out. Students today can do far more than I personally would expect, even young students. This means 1) I need to constantly be up on new and upcoming technology and
2) I need to be sure not to underestimate the abilities of my students.
