A conversation with my 12 year old daughter:
Me: Why aren’t you wearing your Crocs anymore?
Her: They aren’t cool.
Me: Why? I love mine.
Her: Hello! The teachers are wearing them now! When the teachers start wearing them, they aren’t cool any more.
HA!
We had this conversation last Spring and I was thinking about it the other day. Do students think about some technologies the same way they think of their “outdated”footwear? Once the teachers start using it, they move to something else….
Just wondering…

Very interesting observation and possibly some truth in it. I wonder if that applies to all technology such as the Wii which is popular here among students and teachers alike - but it is early days yet

Thanks for the comment Patricia. The Wii has been popular here as well. Our Physical Education Mentor has been taking a Wii around to schools to use in Phys. Ed classes.
The students love it, but you’re right, it is in its early days!
