[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher here in MCPS and I think Chromebooks shouldn’t be issued until like 10th grade at the earliest.  I can’t issue pencil and paper work anymore in 9th grade because 80% of the kids are incapable of writing small and neat enough to fit more than 4 words into a space designed for like three sentences. Probably 50% cant write anything actually legible.[/quote]

What grade are they issued in MCPS?[/quote]

My kindergartener doesn't have a Chromebook assigned to him that he brings home or keeps in his desk or anything, but he had his login info (which includes a random 8 digit number) memorized by November, if that tells you anything...

Does your kid get lunch at school? He needs that number for that. [/quote]

I'm the parent of the kindergartener and nope, he brings lunch from home (and also this came up when he proudly told me he now knew his "number for the Chromebook" without looking at the paper anymore and recited it and his password to me.)

My understanding is that all ES teachers are suppose to have kids spend time on the CKLA computer programs regularly (I think one is called Boost) and many use math programs/games as well.  And then lots of FIT time is computer time too.[/quote]
