Of course, with a new class come new little minds filled with all kinds of interesting bits of knowledge. The best of these little tidbits came today, and from more than one student. I normally try really hard not to laugh at the responses my students give to my questions, but I couldn't help it.
As we talked about where we live (planet, continent, etc) I asked, "What is the name of the planet we live on?"
"Google Earth!" the students so wisely cheered. It took a while to explain through the laughing that their answer was close, but not quite right. It still amazes me what a different world these kids are growing up in. I am sure one of these days I will be hearing that "a computer virus ate my homework"
