[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone ever worry about this? Teachers using excessive amounts of YouTube videos, computer games, technology to teach rather than actually directly teaching?  [/quote]

Using technology to teach in 2022 - imagine that![/quote]

I know, right? So WEIRD, as the parents post endless complaints about it from their phones, tablets and work PCs.[/quote]

As a parent, I have my education.  Funny thing, I expect teachers to teach.  Otherwise, what's the point of school and we can just give them videos all day at home.[/quote]

Well it's not that simple. Sometimes teachers are teaching one small group but need to occupy others with meaningful work. Video are just one of the tools at their disposal and there are many that are engaging and educational![/quote]

The small groups are absurd if the teacher cannot pay attention to all kids and not that helpful.  They can give kids worksheets, books to read or other assignments.  In ES, the time spent on these educational games was bizarre given our principal would send emails telling us not to allow to much screen time at home and they are constantly on it at school.  And, the games weren't good or helpful.[/quote]
