There has been some conversations on a listserve to which I subscribe recently in which IT folks in schools are talking about the "problem" of lost/stolen/dropped/ or otherwise damaged iPads and laptops... the general consensus is that youngsters are far more responsible users than adults are!
My observations seem to confirm that... and the responsibility extends beyond just physical use... yes I observe students listening to music while they work, but students genuinely want to become more skilled users of computers. When they are assigned a task, they work on it. When I observe adults with computers and they are assigned a task, they a checking email, shopping, booking plane tickets, doing just about everything except what their task is.
