I teach a group of preK children (18 little ones, curious and full of energy). They are very eager to learn and get their hands on technology. One day, one of my boys did not want to participate in any learning or game activity I've planned for the day. He was feeling home sick because school just started and he had no friends in school, yet. He cried a little, in the early morning. I took my iPhone and had him play a learning app I have for my son and everything thing changed for this boy. He was very enthusiastic about touching this new device. He was eager to learn how to use it. After a few minutes two other students approached him and asked him what he was doing. They sat with him for a few minutes and began to chat and talk and share the iPhone. He taught his new friends how to play the game he just learned. Our students are generally of low socioeconomic status immigrant families from all over the world.
