Many of the kids don't bring their computers regularly to school- which makes it hard to plan an activity around them. Then they haven't charged the computers. The ones who do have computers are watching soccer videos or illegal movies. The issues go on and on.lbwolperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789084098827243880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-72679410916920645602017-03-28T08:48:26.837-04:002017-03-28T08:48:26.837-04:00I abhor (detest, hate) my MS child's, school ...I abhor (detest, hate) my MS child's, school issued IPad. It is probably in it's 5th year of usage and frequently disconnects from the school internet. I have stopped counting how many "0" grades I have disputed with teachers this year because my child sends the assignment at the end of class (along with all the others in the class and everyone else in the school!) and then closes the IPad to quickly get to his next class (in his overcrowded school) and the assignment is hanging out somewhere in the air. My child can always immediately pull up the completed assignment in question upon my request. I have watched how he resends the assignment so I know that he knows how to do it. There are sometimes issues at home with the school issued IPad because we keep really tight security on our wifi at home and it creates problems with homework that needs to be submitted electronically or getting to certain sites. I have had several talks with admin over 2-3 years. I will never be a fan of 1:1 devices in schools!edblisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792046029260177146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-89605827342691303452017-03-28T07:40:57.085-04:002017-03-28T07:40:57.085-04:00I like it when they use words like "dynamic,&...I like it when they use words like "dynamic," interactive," and "synergy."
