[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently I do not have a computer at home, just an ipad and my work laptop.  This hasn't been an issue yet, as my daughter hasn't had any school work that requires a computer (she's in 2nd grade), but I'm wondering if that will be problematic next year.  If you have a kid in 3rd grade at a center, was having a computer needed for homework?  She does have access to a computer at my parents house after school, and at her dad's house.  She spends so much time in front of the TV or computer screen when she is either of those places that by default my house has turned into a pretty technology-free zone.  I'm reluctant to change that, but is it time?

Thanks![/quote]

I have a 4th grader and their class is pretty paperless.  Every kid except two of them bring their laptop or ipad with keyboard to the class.  All tests, essays,  school work is done online.  They use google classroom/documents for everything.  The teacher also sends her assignments via email to the kids and communicates with the parents using an app.  There is a laptop cart in the hall for the kids that cannot bring their own computers. It was complete change from 3rd grade where they all shared and sporadically used the 5 computers in the classroom.[/quote]

PP -- what school is this?  We are moving to a different center for next year and what you describe is not what we are used to.  No one has a laptop/ipad in our current center (or at least the vast majority don't).  Hoping your school is not the one we are moving to b/c I do not want my kid to bring a device to school.  In fact, they have been banned on his bus![/quote]

+1 Our center doesn't have this either.  A few kids may have a Kindle for reading - as in 1-2 - but that's it.  [/quote]
