[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not saying the art teacher shouldn't have the right to use the computer to show pieces of artwork, etc. which would be a good use.  But that isn't what was conveyed at the open house, leaving me to wonder.  Are kids suppose to create projects on the chromebook? Is art class more like the design class, which is very dependent on the computer. None of this has been explained well to parents at feeder schools.

I am not sure how  a chromebook makes sense in an English Lit class which usually includes reading from a book and engaging in class discussions, etc.  [/quote]

I read the open house comment as "Student use chromebooks in every class." Not "Students use chromebooks every minute in every class."  In fact, I think they pretty clearly stated the opposite, that students aren't using their chromebooks all the time, and that the chromebook use adds up to about 50% of class time, averaged across all classes.   But I wasn't there.  Could someone who was actually there comment?

I would imagine that the students use their chromebooks in English class to write papers.  After all, writing is usually a major part of the English curriculum in middle school.[/quote]
