[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year, one of my younger children did a very creative online drawing project in his art class. Something like Procreate, but maybe another program approved by APS? Imagine all of the crying when 6 year olds have to share an iPad in art class.

Stop it. Move on, APE.[/quote]
I don't want my 6 yo doing art class on a screen.  There are so many more age appropriate things they could be doing.  [/quote]

It was just one unit, my dude. Relax. They do painting and crayons too. [/quote]
Buying iPads for a single art unit is ridiculous.  Just do that lesson with 3rd, 4th or 5th graders who have 1:1 devices.  It doesn't need to be done in K.[/quote]

Now you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. All of us know that iPads are used for more than art. I trust APS staff more than some anon parent whose kids may or may not go to APS what the curriculum should be.

I trust teachers more than clueless, aggressive parents who were screaming about APS before they even had kids in K.

Teachers have weighed in that 1:1 devices aren't necessary in K-2.  You're just being oppositional because APE was quoted in the article.[/quote]

Which teachers? Because I know a 1st grade teacher who loves Lexia for her kids. They need to speak on the record rather than having anon guy or June Prakash speak on their behalf.[/quote]
Teachers at my kid's school.  I'm not going to post their names here.  They aren't against Lexia, but they also don't think 1:1 devices are needed.  They'd be happy to share, especially if that left budget for other things.[/quote]
