Learning Technology - Who's A Student?

Here Donna led the group in an exercise. She asked people to rise and then sit down depending upon how quickly they were able to become comfortable with new technology. This was a nice way to think about who was in the room. Immediately we moved beyond existing labels like literacy student and teacher and focused on who learns with technology and how.  At times "learners" may be ahead of their "teachers" with some technology.

    Cool activity! And it's so true that students are often ahead of teachers in the technology game. First graders know more than I do about modern technological devices!
