Joys Of Teaching

Ahh Teaching can be such a hard job. Its something that is quite difficult to do at times. Especially in today's world of such technically intelligent kids. The class that even my grade 1 kids look forward to most now is no longer PE or Library, but Computers. The only problem is that sometimes their enthusiam outdoes their ability. This comes from the amount of technology kids of all ages have the ability to get hold of, Dvd players, Xbox's, Playstations, Computers, Phones. etc etc
To prove my point I can just look at the first 2 days of school this year. Now the kids I teach are 5 years old. In the first 2 days I confiscated 3 phones from the students, one phone I confiscated after finding a student taking photos of others during class!..
By the time these kids are in grade 2 they will be able to do things like program a laptop!
The problem now is, That with so much technology available to kids, How are we going to keep them interested in lessons?? A Blackboard and books don't seem as cool anymore..
