nancykawaja May 17 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@polonerd @mr_casal & for some Ss that can be tough - when a highly preferred device has both preferred and less preferred material #adechat

@ShannonSoger some P's actually seek permission to parent their child w device. It's a strange dynamic I've seen #adechat

jkathman May 17 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@danvkoch safety and privacy are almost always the first questions I get too. #ADEchat

MelanieSSpencer May 17 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Our parents have been so grateful when we teach them how to see what apps are being used the most. Helps them direct the learning. #adechat

MelanieSSpencer May 17 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@danvkoch Australians love 'gadgets': high tech uptake-see a range of apps 4 learning, even in HS. Ss are more on top of it than Ts #adechat
