Scanners and such

I too was fastinated with much of the things that we were introduced to in the past few weeks. The problem for me continues to be the fact that I had absolutely no prior experience with ANY of these new toys. I thought the scanners were absolutely amazing, but aside from being able to check the price of something at Walmart rather than asking someone in a blue vest, I'm not sure what else I'd use that for. I must confess that today at school I tore up my room looking for items to scan. The kids thought I was a little too excited about that but whatever. The thing is, in my lifetime, when new inventions came around, there was usually an adjustment period of some kind. Unless I'm making way more out of all these inventions and corresponding assignments than they really are, I'm simply overwhelmed with it all.
