Tech in APS?

In particular, I found second grade math by iPad to be terrible. Lots of little boxes to drag and manipulate. Clumsy typing of numbers and fractions. Really awkward. These materials may have been necessary this year, but I hope they never see the light of day again. I fear that they going to be reused next year because they're available and easily accessible to teachers.

It's the same with science and socials studies, too. I'd rather have 2nd graders writing on paper than clicking and typing. I really hope we move back to worksheets over digital assignments.

I think they will keep the things that worked and were easy to maintain and then go back to regular materials for the rest. The teachers that struggled with technology the most will certainly avoid it as much as they can.

How many years ago?

5, but I have stayed friends with people who still work there and they still don't use any tech. I wouldn't send my child there because of significant theological differences, though.

PP again. I worked at a Lutheran school and I think the only tech the local Catholic parochial school uses is the smartboard.

No, it's not odd to avoid screens for early education.

Limited versus avoid. Two different things, chief.

We avoid screens but we don’t abstain.

Avoid = limited, bruh.

Nope. That’s not what “avoid” means. Jfc.

I avoid talking to the DBs at work, but that doesn't mean I never, ever talk to them.


the two biggest tech figures in recent history — Bill Gates and Steve Jobs — seldom let their kids play with the very products they helped create.

Jobs, who was the CEO of Apple until his death in 2012, revealed in a 2011 New York Times interview that he prohibited his kids from using the newly-released iPad. "We limit how much technology our kids use at home," Jobs told reporter Nick Bilton.

A number of specialty Silicon Valley schools, such as the Waldorf School in Mountain View, are noticeably low-tech. They use chalkboards and No. 2 pencils.



Like I said, it's not odd to avoid screens for early education (PK-2).

See - I also try to avoid DBs on DCUM too and it's just too difficult have ZERO experiences with them.
