Default Re: Electronic dictionaries in class! Good or bad?

And the pain is having to check each time on the little guy whether he is actaully checking out the meaning of a word or programming his alarm extra that will throw off your lesson a few minutes later with the sound of a police siren.

I was compelled to seize one just before the October holiday after three warnings. The guy's dictionary has this loud sound of laughter and clapping each time he wins a game or kills one of the heros in the games. I don't know whether it is download from the internet or it is actually part of the dictionary built-in.

You know what even gives them the most fun? The fact that old teachers like us from the other generation don't even know how to use these devices. I brought the one I seized to the staff room and we were all at a loss. No one could even turn it on. The guy had some password lock key or something.
