Re: Professional jealousy
Have you considered the fact that it might be a genuine concern on her part, and not professional jealousy?
There are lot of people out there who feel that arming kids with google/ipads at a very young age shunts their ability to think on their own. There is a local school here, where kids actually use ipads as ‘notebooks’. I too personally feel that overexposure to technology at a very young age can make kids too reliant on point and shoot solutions. So for all you know, this lady might have what she feels are valid reasons to resist introduction of high tech stuff at a young age.
Id say discuss this with her and dont let her feel that she is ‘behind the times’. She might be willing to compromise to a certain extent.
