[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the note of laptops for every kid, in almost all normal circumstances, the elementary kids should not be 1:1 with laptops.

Those should be an occassional activity, not a primary means of teaching.

That is why many of us voted against the meals tax.  Early elementary students should not be looking at a screen all day.  It is bad for their development.

Even in this quarantine situation, traditional paper work is better than laptops.  I really hope fcps does not try to get 1:1 laptops for the little ones.[/quote]

I teach third grade. We have no Chromebooks. I have 5 laptops in the classroom for 23 third graders. Each classroom has 5 computers (one classroom has 5 desktops). The grade level shares 2 mobile lab carts that hold 16 hand me down laptops (if they are available and not pulled for testing or the Global Awareness Project). That’s 62 computers (57 laptops) for approximately 145 students.[/quote]

And that is how it should be.

Early elementsry kids should not be getting their education from compjters as a primary tool.

Computers should be used only occassionally in 4th grade.and below.[/quote]
