[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People confuse Lexia with Imagine Literacy, which is what we had during the virtual year and last year. Lexia is brand new to the district this year (other than maybe a pilot program in a few schools). [/quote]

Then our school must have been one of the pilots. They definitely had it last year for the whole class. They also had Imagine Literacy.[/quote]

Lexia has been used in FCPS since at least 2020, just not district wide. [b]It’s a valuable tool if used appropriately.[/b] [/quote]

Yeah a Lexia rep- they are throwing shade at teachers to make it look like there is nothing wrong with the product, but the users are the issue.   During a Lexia training in my district, all of the teachers kept mentioning lag and frustration from the kids when using the program. It was mentioned each time the trainer asked for feedback during the training.  The “trainer” would never address it at ALL.  He pretended no one said anything over and over again.  At a certain point, you just have to laugh.  [/quote]

In kindergarten, the app is often updating and especially after a weekend it could take several minutes for that process. Every time they use it they have to swipe out clever or they can’t get back in correctly. Many kids are still so slow at getting logged into their iPads. If used as a reading station, a kid might get 3 minutes of actual Lexia time which is probably not even recorded because they have to complete so many tasks to go towards the minutes.

I feel my LA and math block times went much smoother this week taking iPads out of it. [/quote]
Do FCPS make teachers try the apps and consider teachers' opinion before they make purchase decision? If they do, do the involve teachers from all grades, both GE and AAP， both  low ranking schools and high ranking schools? Do they have a review process after purchasing by studying the impact on teaching/learning result, conduct survey for teachers/students/parents' user experience?

I don’t know and at this point, I don’t care. I’ve expressed my frustration. And now I do what works for me and I desire a screen free learning so I will use it as little as possible.  [/quote]

I wish DC'S teacher can do the same.[/quote]
