[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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? One person from AEA? A couple anonymous posters on DCUM?

Either way, it doesn’t save that much money. 
[/quote]

Other teachers  have posted under their names on AEM that they don’t like 1-1 iPads.  This isn’t hard. [/quote]

And you will find other teachers on AEM who like Lexia and the flexibility 1:1 iPads provide in lower elementary. That's not hard to find either. In any case, you should stop speaking for all teachers.[/quote]

But you don't have to have 1:1 to use iPads. You can have a class set. People seem to be equating 1:1 with using technology at all. [/quote]

Cutting out half of the iPads in k-2 isn’t a significant savings. Not worth the administrative hassle or additional teacher load.[b] Plus, having 1:1 provides contingency for possible emergency situations. [/b]
[/quote]
An emergency that can only be solved by every kindergartener having an iPad?  Such as?  An emergency need to do Dreambox or Lexia?  Wtf?

No one is putting K-2 on iPads for virtual learning again.  It's not happening.  The kids don't learn anything and it's miserable for all involved.[/quote]
