[quote=Anonymous]In my experience the administration at DCI has been addressing issues.  They have taking steps to shut down certain features on the Chromebook after it was brought to their attention (video chat).  My 7th grader has had his Chromebook shut down remotely for not being on task (playing a game).  While in school the teachers have the ability to monitor what students are doing on their Chromebook.  He will not use his Chromebook outside of school except for homework.  He also has assignment due on paper and workbooks.  Some assignments are done one paper and the Chromebook is only used to mark the assignment as completed.  It may be that his teachers have better classroom management skills than some other DCI teachers.

I definitely agree that technology needs to be monitored and used appropriately. That being said we are coming from a privates school and I am pleased with the IB curriculum, the number of activities, and the focus cultural, social, and personal responsibility.

Hopefully, there will be continued improvements.  We are not 3 months into the school year.  [/quote]
