This is why Kindergarten kids need computer tablets.

My wife teaches kindergarten (Bless her) All the kids have their own tablet supplied by the school. They have to have so much Computer time every day.

One of her students was having increasing problems logging on to the program she needed to work on. So my wife took a look at her tablet and found lots of photos on it. Photos of herself, photos of the class room and photos of the teachers. My wife started to delete the photos to free up space on the tablet. She ended up Deleting 19,560 photos from the tablet.
Budding photographer? Or would they be better at that age with chalk and a board.

Wow, in my classroom we have a "chrome cart," a cart full of chrome books for my kids to use for research, google classroom, etc. I'll have to check but I don't believe that the kids in our district have chrome books before middle school.

Want to freak them out? Take them to the library and teach them to look up stuff with index cards. :ninja:

They could start with a history lesson on the Dewey Decimal System.

I don't want to freak you guys out, but the last school I worked in that had a card catalog did away with it ten years ago. Those catalogs are all digitized these days and just the idea blows their minds.

I will say that things like JSTOR and ProQuest have completely changed the nature of research. I now have access to archives that I never would have been able to access in any meaningful way twenty years ago. It's one of the few benefits I've actually seen in the digitization and globalization we've undergone since the late 90s.

Same system Mitsy uses. I can't find a d**ned thing tho. If I ask Her for some bit of info, She can go straight to the appropriate pile and pull it out.

She's begun to digitize stuff, then shred the paperwork. Her digital catalogue "system" is just like the piles tho! Obtuse names for directories only She can interpret as meaningful... I'm callin it: "Simple Horsemits Intuitive Thinking"!

Okay, so we all have things that we hold onto. For me it's books. Currently I have in the neighborhood of 4,000 books. I have book shelves in my living room, bedroom, and half of my shed is devoted to my books. Now the way they are organized is, a shelf for this topic, a shelf for that topic, a pile for such and such author, a box for mysteries, a box for car books, etc.

So, piles are a completely acceptable organizational method.
