[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first grader went to 175 sites on average per day last week. HOW? He showed me and he has a program that asks him science questions. He just selects a multiple choice answer (the question was too hard and he just guessed) and then his game restarts. It's like 5% learning, 95% video game. As a society can we please, please do something about this? I feel like school board admins are too stupid to realize they've been bamboozled by EdTech. This is not learning, this is fueling addiction. I am not a luddite. I do think kids should be writing essays in Word, making slide decks and be able to email teachers, but these stupid games are awful. My son is in dual language- where is the Duo Lingo??? Where are the quality educational tools? Why does Magma Math and Youtube have Ads? I couldn't believe my kids watch Ads all day at school. [/quote] (I am in a neighboring VA county, not MoCo. I didn't see the forum)[/quote]
