[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to the person who claimed to be there at the open house: did you come in late? because you clearly missed the whole tech conversation. students use paper and pencil, and real books and workbooks as well as chromebooks. usage assessments show 50% of time on devices only---much of it collaborative with multiple students doing group work on a common document or project. 
morning break time and lunch are the only times students can use cellphones: they are confiscated otherwise.
they have content filtering that works at home and school.
teachers can control desktops and monitor what students are doing and have been doing.
students have multiple options at morning break and lunch for activities other than screen time: clubs, speakers, indoor and outdoor activities. The student reps who were there all talked about loving hanging out with friends the most. 
i was pleased to hear the info straight from the admin's and students' mouths and feel like there has been a lot of hysteria on this thread that is unwarranted. 
flame away!!!
