| cherrymp | 02:03 | fear of technology - things going wrong #eltchat |
| pysproblem81 | 02:03 | #eltchat - lots of factors - some economic/equip, some training, some generational, some cultural? |

| HerreraVeronica | 02:06 | @ShellTerrell @cioccas Some of my sts have some kind of device, but are not willing to use them for learning #eltchat |

| cioccas | 02:06 | @pysproblem81 Older (over 60) Ts at my school wouldn't agree about 'generational' #ELTchat |
| cherrymp | 02:07 | @nlomax rightly said #eltchat |
