The Modern Schoolchild



http://www.lightartforum.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=3990

Snapped yesterday afternoon in the after school home and bus bustle, in the schoolyard next door to us, this boy was waiting for his parent to collect him. I was careful to get one that did not identify the child, I waited until he had his head down absorbed in his laptop.

It struck me how much things have changed, while I waited for the bus after school I used to read a book!

Unfortunately it does not work, I can hear the ringtone and i am 32 ! The kids dont bother trying it on me anymore ... plus the craze has pretty much subsided now.
Every grade 12 student (17yrs old) has a laptop at our school now supplied by the school. Most of them use the technology sensibly but the minority play games and it is more distracting than things used to be !

Anyway ... Nice shot, good moment !

It is a good portrayal of how technology is used to help students learn.

And Tim... Surely you are older than 32??? hahaha Grin
