Technology Savvy
My Dad works at a high school as an assistant principal and there are three other assistance principals as well and all of them are in charge of a different grade level. All the principals received an Ipad to store information and allow them to do their day to day work on the go. My dad after using an Ipad for so long bought one of his own, for personal use at home. Eventually my step mom got one as well after using my Dads for so long. The Ipads engulf most of their free time with games and web surfing on the go. The interesting thing about this story to me is that schools are becoming more technology savvy and technology based. The principals received Ipads to allow them to use certain programs that could make their job easier when they work. The school also has the latest Mac computers and as well as multiple computer labs which the curriculum requires a general computer class where you learn to type and other useful world skills. The world around is changing and things that were needed in the past are getting outdated and replaced by new innovative things.  Also this story shows that many people no matter age can learn this technology. My grandmother received a kindle from my dad as a mothers day gift and she learned how to use it relatively fast despite the advancement in technology compared to technology in her time.
