How much electronics do you folks have?
We have a laptop and iPhone for each adult and each elementary age kid has their own chromebook to do homework on ($150 laptop). We have one table mostly used to talk to grandparents. Kids each have iPod mostly for road trips to listen to music. Do most kids have their own tablet rather than laptop? Do we have more electronics than most, it feels like it. |

Smartphone + laptop for each parent
1 family iPad Child is young ES |
|
Nothing. Kids in ES and MS. |
How do you do assigned math homework on computer, library trips? |
So 1 kid, 1 iPad? Does child use your laptops for school assignments, any worry of them damaging adults laptop? |
|
We have one family laptop. (I also have a work laptop but it rarely comes home.)
We have a galaxy tablet, but the charging port broke so we rarely use it. That's it. Two young ES kids and a baby. |
Her child probably isn't doing homework on the computer in young ES |
| One family desktop. DH has work laptop and iPad that sometimes but rarely are used at home. Each parent has an iPhone. Kids aged 5 & 6 have no devices. They look at pictures on my phone, and we used the iPad for some okympics coverage, but that's about it. |

7yr old - No devices
15yr old - one cell phone (parental controls) I have an iPhone5 DH has a Galaxy something We have one laptop. DH has a desk computer when he works from home. |
|
We have 2 ES kids.
Each parent has iPhone and laptop. Mini-ipad for whole family to share. |
| I 8 yo. Each parent has a laptop and phone. I have an iPad and let the kid use it occasionally. Kid has a deactivated old iPhone (basically iPod) mainly used for music for going to sleep. |
The pp above is correct. Our child does not need the computer right now for homework. DC does know how to search on the iPad (we have it pretty locked down) and can only use it after asking. He has used my laptop with supervision and is generally pretty careful with things like that. In upper ES, I think the school assigns each kid a Chromebook.

Or post to the Internet without at least a desktop computer? |
OP asked for laptops, tablets and iPods. Our kids do not use portable electronics. We have a family desktop computer and DH has a work desktop computer. Our elementary school never assigned work on the computer. This year my middle schooler does have some minor work on the computer. |
Same here. But 4th grader. I share my laptop with my son because has a decent amount of homework online these days. |
