It’s coming.

It’s rumored that Walmart will begin selling iPhones at the rumored price of $99.00.  One of my students today caught me after school and asked me what they were getting for Christmas.  (It should be noted that I am Santa’s stunt double.)  Thinking that I was reaching beyond the pale, I guessed he was getting an iPhone.  The look of surprise quickly replaced with a look that the air had been let out of his sails told me I had hit the nail on the head more precisely than I ever could have imagined.  Before I could recover, he mumbled something about my being right and gave me that “how in the world did he know” look as he moved into the crowds headed for the busses.

The bigger stunner for me is what am I going to do with a kid who can surf the web without district restrictions, pretty much at will?  Change or die?  Ok, maybe a little hyperbole …
