[quote=Anonymous]Our K doesn't seem to use iPads as much now in the second half of the year as they did in the beginning of the year (based on what I am hearing and the battery level at the end of the day).

It does seem to be an independent activity (one of the "stations") as a PP mentioned, and then they can do it at home.  I do think in the beginning of the year and around the holidays, there was a lot of instruction on how to use the iPads for Teams, etc. in case classes needed to shut down (which fortunately didn't happen, and hopefully will not be a concern next year).  So some of it may have been Covid circumstances.  I also think at this point in the year they've gotten through the K levels in Lexia and Dreambox, so they're less encouraged to do it.

I found it jarring in the beginning of the year how much focus was on using the iPads, but it seems to have evened out.  One of the other things that surprised me early on was how much they use the big TVs in the classrooms for brain breaks, Go Noodle, music videos, etc.  But we're almost through the year and my kid is thriving, so I'm happy with how things have worked out overall and I trust my kid's (very experienced) teacher.
