Now tell me it wouldn't be the coolest thing in the world to do a week-long swap out of some kid's TI-83 Plus graphing calculator for a slide rule and then have him or her report on it. Or better yet - a table of logarithms!
Sure, the poor youth would be traumatized for several years at the least, but it'd be cool anyway... ;)
That would be like swapping out my pt cruiser for a horse and cart. You are a cruel man. LOL. I think kids need to learn the math, and EARN the right to the gadgets.
ReplyDeleteI may have reversed the technologies - I should have suggested the table of logarithms first, and then "even better yet: a slide rule!"
