[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the school you are in have filters and are the kids allowed to bring in phones, etc or just the school computer?  Is DCI policy to let the kids use devices during breaks typical in other 1:1 schools. Also, what percentage of classes use the computer?  Just trying to get an appreciation for how DCI's approach compares with the other schools using 1:1. THnks[/quote]

Allowing kids to use phones etc . . . during lunch and other breaks is becoming the norm at most high schools these days.  I'm the teacher at the 1:1 school, and I see remarkably little phone use, beyond what I'd actually consider "positive phone use" (e.g. the other day one of my students asked my permission to use her phone during study hall to call her mom and let her know there was a Yearbook meeting afterschool so to please pick up late).

I would say that almost every class uses the device (we have iPads, not computers) at some point, but some classes use it a lot, e.g. kids are expected to take their science notes in Notability, so in non lab periods it may be used all period, whereas in English it's used for a small fraction of most periods, and art may use it for some projects or assignments but then not for weeks.
