[quote=Anonymous]I originally posted this in DCPS forum but would like to hear from other school districts.  Sometimes I feel so lost as to what my expectations should be.  The most technology we had when I was in school was the AV cart and an occasional VHS video so I want a better picture of reality.

Trying to gauge what the norm might be out there. Our school is fully decked out in chrome books, smart boards, etc. I think the technology is a wonderful asset and great opportunity for teaching but it seems like both my kids see The Magic School Bus with some regularity. Maybe once or twice a week. Is this becoming a standard in teaching? I just want to set my expectations accordingly because I default to not believing that kids watching videos in the classroom is a good thing. Do schools have policies established for how this equipment is used? It seems like the equipment has been deployed and teachers get autonomy to use it as they see fit and I guess, in our case, this includes The Magic School Bus. So before I go to parent teacher conferences or start asking around school thought I would see what other experiences are in schools. I know many people will have opinions on should/should not and videos but I am really looking for some feedback on your experience.[/quote]
