[quote=Anonymous]I started teaching in the 1980s with textbooks and accompanying workbooks in elementary schools. The workbooks meant I did not have to copy worksheets and pass them out for kids to keep track of. It was also a record of work accomplished. Both were easy to send home for parents to see what we were doing. Without them, there is a huge burden on teachers to create lessons and present them. Having the Smartboards let me show all kinds of related information for a lesson. They can bring topics alive. Kids on devices is a huge hassle. They have trouble logging on, they aren’t charged, they break, etc. Kids lose work or are distracted by changing settings and so forth. Imagine if kids had had textbooks and workbooks at home during the pandemic. Learning could have gone on if there had been an adult present to provide guidance. Also, with textbooks, a sub can keep steering the ship.[/quote]
