[CASL-L] Touch screen generation

[Shannon McNeice]

Hi Sue,

Your comments made me think of this article I read this weekend about
screen time and social skills...

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/24/opinion/sunday/your-phone-vs-your-heart.html

Made me think about the habits of my fifth grader. . .Thanks for the
conversation. . .
