I REALLY did not want to try this. Probably because I was too involved in my own world to poke my nose into something a little foreign. But you have pushed me. I'm going to look up the app and see what I can find!<br /><br />PS Your observational skills must serve you well in this alternate world. Thanks for the adventure.

It gets kids outside!" He also told me it was free if you don't buy any of the extras. I was being so resistant, but maybe I need to embrace it.

I love that you know it's good for your students to see you trying things like this. There is a real world out there and Pokemon Go gets kids out there.
