At that tech sandbox event last week I tried out a couple of things. While a lot of it was fun and good for certain age levels I would say one thing in particular caught my eye that being the big screen. I know it sounds simple but because it is interactive and easy to use and connected to the internet it makes it so versatile. With that I could make lessons or do group discussion games, or use it as a more detailed whiteboard and the sky is the limit. But other stuff like the 3d printing looked cool as well and could have some uses depending on whatever you are doing though I'm not too knowledgeable on it.
I've been using them and I must admit the PLN I first laid out isn't indicative of what it looks like now. Personally the one I've been connecting with more is LinkedIn. Which makes sense because I just got put on the most important business competition college consulting case so my life is currently more centered around that. But the one that I still do use as a PLN is Canvas and more specifically this class. Talking to my peers and their thoughts on subjects has been very beneficial and something that I have appreciated dearly.
It depends on what you mean by digitally rich or poor. Starting out I didn't come from the best home and my public school did not have much starting out. The gifted program did but I never qualified. But then in middle school I switched schools to a public school and they had a huge renovation that kind of made it look like a color coded prison and started using laptops. And ever since then I have used technology and even more so after I got a bring home laptop after I had moved to Florida halfway through 7th grade and got close with applications like Word.
