[quote=Anonymous]Both my kids go to different highly regarded progressive privates and both use school iPads regularly. In the case of the 6th grader, iPads are just how most of the work gets done and organized. And it is how the kids collaborate. They move seamlessly from iPads at school to computers at home and back. Objecting seems like objecting to pencils. In the case of the kindergartener at another school, I think they use the camera a lot to document observations of nature, etc. Plus some creative story creating apps, etc. I would mind this more if I thought they used the iPads a lot or if I didn't trust the school to know what they were doing. I am 100% sure they don't use iPads for the purpose of wanting to teach kids how to use iPads. iPads are easier to use than pencils.[/quote]
