[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.

Oh come on, I wasn't the one who suggested that 1:1 devices were needed because of art class.  I was responding to ridiculousness, not raising it.[/quote]

Op of kid who showed us her art project: It might be ridiculous to you, but I appreciate that my kid learned an actual skill that can be useful later in life and actually enjoyed doing it. That project was beautiful and creative. Not everyone, including teachers are against 1:1 in K-2. Stop framing it that way.[/quote]
Even if you think a digital art project is developmentally appropriate for K-2, that's not a reason to pay for 1:1 devices.  That project could get moved to later grades or the art teacher could use a class set.  It's just a red herring in an actual conversation.  [/quote]
