With old equipment, you never know ...
Years ago when I was teaching 2nd graders we read a story that talked
about a "record player." After getting blank stares from my kids, I
broke our OLD, OLD, OLD (even back then) classroom record player and
fired it up. The kids found it fascinating.
The best comment, though, was "Hey check it out. That thing spins!!!"
LOL
It turned a ho hum reading lesson into an EVENT!!! :-)

Subject: Re: [LM_NET] old equipment HUMOR!
Just gotta jump in here with some humor on this subject. I have kept a
very old filmstrip projector and various sizes of 16 mm reels that I
have on a top shelf as a display. The other day a second grader asked
me (in dead serious tone) "when are you going to use that with us?" I
had to laugh! I only wish I had an old filmstrip to demonstrate the
technology!
