[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The MCCPTA introduced a resolution on digital balance, basically getting back to more paper learning like textbooks. Does the MCCPTA have any influence?

This does not prepare our children for tomorrow's workplace. What is wrong with these people? Are they luddites?[/quote]

Yes, they need to advocate something so instead of safety they want to get rid of technology.    There needs to be a balance.  Textbooks would be great but things like writing assignments are far better on the computer.  [/quote]

I disagree with your assumptions in the first sentence. And as for "writing assignments are far better on the computer," what's your evidence? The linked file has a bunch of evidence-based recommendations on it. nothing specific to writing, so I'd be open to seeing what might exist to prove your point vs their proposals.  Anecdotally, I'm connected with some college English professors on FB (knew one of them growing up, her grad school friends comment on her posts because they're profs at various places), and they're seriously lamenting the analytical and writing skills of their current college students. It's like the skill level fell off the cliff in the last couple of years. Covid learning loss, perhaps, but the ability to cut & paste or use AI to complete your sentences...let alone the new chatbot thing...all these trends are not helping students' writing abilities.[/quote]
