[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This gives me a pause. Is this common in public schools? Teachers also said that they let kids play games in iPads "sometimes". I mean, is this really necessary to expose kids to screen time? We try to limit it at home. [/quote]

[b]Jamestown has a tech focus and has won many awards from Apple for its use of technology in the classroom.[/b] The games they play are educational in nature, and Jamestown is a leader in terms of using iPads as an educational tool.

In my view, yes, it's necessary to integrate these devices in our 21st Century education.

I'm not sure why you try to limit it at home -- is it a problem for you? What issue do you have with screens? They're a central part of our lives now and a critical learning tool.[/quote]

I'd actually like to hear more about this.  What kind of awards?  What were they for?  Is there a link or more info?

I'd be interested in knowing more about how the technology is being used well.  [/quote]
