I know what you're saying, but technology seems to be the one thing that's actually come down in price. I've just bought a replacement for my now dead phone, an-admitedly basic- smart phone, unlocked, for much less than even a cheap pair of trainers. I don't know about the situation in schools. I imagine the standard level of persecution still reigns there, if not over trainers of phones, then something or other :-(.Jane A Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087607319862370862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-73957288550659871892012-02-17T15:03:03.350+00:002012-02-17T15:03:03.350+00:00Total sympathy... can't live with them, can...Total sympathy... can't live with them, can't live without them. <br />I have a question (non googlable I think) which is - do ALL the kids you teach have smart phones? Because I wonder how this new found technological opennes (which sounds good in educational environment and good way of them using technology) squares with the kids from poorer backgrounds - the ones who used to be laughed at for not the right trainers... or am I out of date and this doesn't exist any more and I am the only person in the world who is smarter than their phone? GOOD OLD NOKIA... I only use my mobile for texting and as a replacement for a wach... oh, and now I listen to the radio to it a bit as well... it's smarter than I'm making out!
