[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I am shocked that Visi did this. What a bad idea. There are lots of studies out there showing students learn better when taking notes by hand on paper. And it's better for your eyes.

My now college students confessed to me that he and friends spent a lot of time in middle school playing video games in class right under the nose of the teacher. These were magnet kids.[/quote]

NP. I am surprised that Catholic schools use electronics at all, I would expected things to be old school. [/quote]

You don’t have to take notes on the tablet. My DD prefers it but some teacher don’t even allow it and she has to use a notebook. Some teachers let them choose and plenty of girls choose paper notebooks.

But she says there are girls that mess around online instead of taking notes. Which is crazy for the pace Visi moves and will likely catch up to them quickly. [/quote]

it is nice to have everything in one place, notes, homework etc on tablet. Doesn’t take so much space and easier to not lose.

Has anyone set up screen time on the tablet to block things like YouTube? Filtering that on the router will require special hardware[/quote]

Which school didn’t give out Chromebook or iPad until high school?
