Technology: Dot

Our Technology Integrator, Lanette Walters, lent me a wonderful book to share with the girls. Dot tells the story of a young girl who loves technology, but discovers that she needs balance in her life. She learns that she is perfectly happy taking a break from her electronics and playing outside. The girls and I discussed how there can be too much of a good thing and one student shared that if she were to use her iPad for too long, her brain would "melt out of her ears." I loved that analogy. The girls then used Draw and Tell to illustrate and record descriptions of two activities that they enjoy doing after school: one involving technology and one not involving technology.
