[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an MCPS teacher. I pray that MCPS begins phasing out one to one devices soon. The amount of money, time, and effort spent on Chromebooks is insane considering more often than not they prevent kids from learning. I have so many students who have become literally addicted to playing games on their Chromebook. Trying to limit their access to games is like trying to take drugs from a substance abuser. They have become reliant on their Chromebooks to emotional regulate themselves. Teachers have access to monitoring programs like light speed….but it’s like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound. I can’t stress enough that if a child wants to use their Chromebook for no educational purposes they WILL find a way. Whether it’s by using a VPN, or finding sites with names that sound education such as “geography lessons.” [/quote] +100. Stop wasteful spending on distraction & cheating devices. Lower class sizes.[/quote]
