[quote=Anonymous]Upper ES teacher here who posted previously. I love that my kids have a device and I don’t need to check out a cart. That aspect is so much better. That being said, I was determined to go back to pre - covid tech use. Do my kids use computers? Absolutely! But it is for purposeful reasons. My kids are not filling in Google Slides. They have physical notebooks. When we do writing they are drafting in notebooks.

This is what I use computers for:
Research
Publishing writing
Projects
Unit Tests
Review Games (quizet/quizziz/kahoot)
Posted materials like primary sources or long articles

Everything else is paper/pencil. No ST Math or Imagine Language.

I will say the pacing guides literally are the same as last year. The resources are all Google Slides with type in stuff. I am lucky that I have taught this grade for many years and had things saved before the pandemic to go back to normal tech use. My school also wasn’t limiting paper.

There absolutely needs to be a balance with tech use. Some teachers are doing it and others aren’t. It could come down to admin or individual teachers but this is something parents should address with the individual teacher. [/quote]
