[quote=Anonymous]My pre-K son uses a computer during his IT class, and I think it's fine. I don't think he's delayed in any way; if anything, he seems more advanced than his siblings we at that age. Our elementary school also requires iPad for grades 1-5, and it has been a really good experience for the kids. They do group projects using Google Drive and other apps, and it promotes more independent learning (as well as requires less involvement for me in terms of ensuring their homework is done). Since some of the apps are social media-based, the kids can challenge each other on assignments (compete with each other, for points), which gives them repetition and opportunities to figure out where they went wrong. Honestly, I couldn't be happier. Despite the screen time (and we don't restrict it), my kids still play, read, and do what kids do without screens. And on the playground in the morning, the kids still play hopscotch, jump rope, and play tag.[/quote]
