[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one central source is counting minutes on screens.  LA uses screens for Lucy Calkins slides and for reading rotations where student could choose audio book or iReady, etc.  SS uses digital notebook, Google slides, and digital textbook.  It also uses Kahoot or Quiziz(sp?) leading up to tests about every 2 weeks.  Sci uses Google slides and digital notebook and short movies.  Math uses Dreambox, iReady, sT math, and Google slides.  The quick checks, Horizon tests, check-ins, etc. are all on the computer.   So, yes, a huge % of the day is on the computer or in front of some screen.  No textbooks exist, aside from the digital Soc Studies one.  [/quote]

That sounds like a lot. Much more than we use. I don’t use Lucy Calkins, let alone have slides. We only did iReady screener in the fall and will take it again this month. The science kits do have slides that I project, but the work and experiments are hands on. We have composition notebooks for math, reading, writing and science. I do use ST Math as a math station, but each student rotates through once a week. MyOn and Tumblebook Library are options that some choose during independent reading. We have days during which many students don’t even turn on their computers.

I thought we no longer had Dreambox.

+1, the PP’s post above is the WORST case scenario. I project slides in the board. Otherwise they may be on ST Math 10 minutes a day, they take iReady twice (4 hours all year) and have done about 10 horizons tests ALL year. I do have one student that reads in MyOn a couple times a week, the others prefer paper books. That’s it. (ES Teacher)[/quote]
