Keeping up with technology change
I had a bit of a laugh when I read the cartoon posted on Linda’s page. I had a similar situation at my practicum school yesterday when I was listening to students read in a reading group. The word ‘walkman’ was used in the story and the child reading was having trouble because they didn’t know what a walkman was. I had to explain to the children that a walkman is a little bit like an iPod but not many people use them anymore. I offered to bring one in and show the kids which they were very excited about. Wow! I would never have thought my walkman would be such a collectors item.
