Busy...
Today was a busy day in the MC. We had sixth graders coming in to check out books, 7th graders working on book wordles, and 8th graders working on their group debate projects. I worked hard for those 3.5 hours! I love a busy MC and today was one of those days. I did make an observation today about the 'digital divide'. In one class, we had several students who were completely capable of the wordle activity which included a mult-step process - all on the computer with screenshots, powerpoint, uploading into Google docs...etc. On the other hand, we had several students who were barely able to remember how to open and save word documents. I can certainly see the challenge involved with bridging that divide; frankly, I am surprised the divide was as big as it was in this particular school/demographic area!
