[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this policy is so stupid and spoke out about that at the time.  I think Falls Church City also does this and is proud of themselves.  What a waste of money and disservice to the kids.  Can't believe these two systems are so proud of themselves for giving free access to screens.[/quote]

Most of us in Falls Church City don't like it either. Such a waste of money.[/quote]

It sounds different. Our elementary students in FCCPS have access to iPads and Macs for specific projects. Like they do research, create Google presentations, etc. But it isn't "theirs", they don't bring t home or anything.

Personally, I think it's been great. They use it as a tool to complement what they are working on and are learning the technology. I would be opposed to the school district giving our iPads to use at home, unless there was a very specific task they needed to do (and wary even then, elementary kids don't need to be doing too much schoolwork outside of school anyway ).[/quote]
