[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During tours of Capitol Hill schools this year during lottery season I witnessed:

- PK-4 class at Maury dancing to a video on the smartboard 
- 1st graders at LT working on tablets (1:1)
- A video displaying the words to a story on a smartboard at Payne in a PK or K classroom 
- A class watching a video on a smartboard about another country on a “virtual field trip” as the tour guide called it at CHML

And those were things that just happened to be occurring as the tour passed by! I felt pretty disheartened. [/quote]

Uh huh. 🙄 How much screen time does your kid have at home? 
Have you ever thought about kids with disabilities who may need bigger words than what’s on a chart paper? Or maybe they need visuals to help them engage. Are you going to print thousands and pay for colored visuals?

Are you going to pay for a trip to Italy?

There is NOTHING wrong with what you listed as long as it’s not for hours.

I have done a 15 minute virtual tour in my classroom, then students did research using books, travel magazines, brochures, etc.

If parents want zero tech send your kid to a private forest school. We have those in this area, they’re cute.[/quote]
