[quote=Anonymous]Agree with 14:21. There is research to suggest kids learn or process information differently when using a computer. There is research showing screen time at night affects sleeping patterns.  I have not followed research re: radiation exposure so I can't really comment. Just wanted to stress that screen time has and is being studied. l
Not to say that computers can't help kids learn or that kids shouldn't be exposed to technology but there needs to be balance.  Schools should use existing research to guide how they use computers.

^Information is received and retained better when reading a hard copy book, not a screen. We don't know the longterm of kids all learning on computers because they are the guinea pigs. I don't want to learn when it's too late that my child should've been limited on the computer. Why is this so hard for DCI boosters to understand?

Yes yes and yes.  These are the concerns, and it's going to take those of us in line to go but concerned a lot of engagement of DCI staff to find that balance.  I haven't given up that it's possible, but experience from info sessions so far shows it's going to take a lot more engagement.[/quote]
