[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was worried about this, but as a K mom now its not actually a big deal.  in my kids class they use it for a short time in school every other day.  The games (starship?) are fun and have a small educational element.  frankly my kid does need to figure out where letters and keys are on a keyboard (instead of, say, learning cursive) because that is the reality they will deal with in life.

also the libby app for library books online is great for reading new and different books to my kids every night.  i don't see a big difference between using that app and holding a physical book except they can instantly pick out a new one (for free!)[/quote]

Oh my gosh the Libby app is amazing. My kid is a voracious reader and I love letting her get new books with out making a trip to the library. My younger kid loves the books that will read out loud and show the corresponding page, with the words highlighted as they are read. Obviously we read lots of traditional books together but these are great. Not all screens are created equal! [/quote]

Great. Some of it is good. Most of what MCPS uses is crap.[/quote]
