[quote=Anonymous]Do you find that is is helpful or doesn't make a difference?

If used skillfully, it can be helpful in assessment. I have yet to find that the pros outweigh the cons in instruction for middle school. And I hold a Master’s degree in Instructional Technology.

Do you think each child should have a laptop assigned to them?

Not for use all day in school. I would make sure students can check out a device to do homework or work on academic interests like using CAD.

Would you rather the money be spent on other resources, such as hands-on projects?

I’d like textbooks, since parents keep asking for them. I would like smaller class sizes. With our current student: teacher ratios, we can’t do some hands on activities even if we had money to buy materials.

Do you think cell phones should be restricted, banned or permitted at school?

Highly restricted. It is a major distraction, even when you plan an engaging lesson or allow free choice learning activities. Think about how often you see adults pull out their phones during a dinner date with spouse and another couple or a performance they paid top dollar to watch? We’re all addicted.

Online books vs. textbooks. Which do you prefer?

I’d be fine with online books if we had very basic kindle-like readers for them.

As a parent I have my opinions but I am not in the schools working with kids. I really want to know your opinion. [/quote][/quote]
