[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that was interesting as well and  I think it makes sense.

The doctor's also stressed there are a lot we don't know about the downsides of tech exposure.  Also some reading programs for young kids could be so distracting as to prevent kids from actually learning.

I really just wish DCI would not eliminate but just reduce the heavy tech focus to help mitigate any potential negatives.  Smart use of tech instead the everything tech.  I feel the underlying message from the school is everything tech is great because it is innovative.  And research suggests that probably just isn't true![/quote]

Aren't they using tech 50% of the time, which means it's turned off 50% of the time.  And people with kids there have pointed out that a significant portion of that 50% of the time is either places where every school uses tech (e.g. drafting a paper), or things like figuring out a math problem on paper and entering the answer onto the computer.

It sounds like they are being thoughtful and using it when it makes sense.
