[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a bit of a moot point since kids are now on their computers in class most of the day texting each other from the computer platforms and switching between class assignments  and youtube windows. The bigger problem is this huge amount of time they all now spend slumped over a computer in general-- that has become normalized. Try to estimate your DC's amount of time in front of a computer ( or phone..or any electronic) from bus to school to lights out..its most of the day. We all need to grapple with this huge problem that collecting phones at school does not fix. [/quote]

Not an issue at schools that monitor computer use. For example, any iPad school will have teachers equipped with the capability to see each kid’s screen and immediately redirect them to the correct location and/or share a message without alerting the rest of the class.  This technology exists for PCs but it’s more clunky. [/quote]

But a teacher who is teaching isn't also checking an iPad simultaneously. Of course it's technically possible to monitor, but in practice there is a lot of YouTube going on. It would be even better if schools would BLOCK youtube on devices used in class, but I haven't ever seen this. I have asked.[/quote]
