Level the playing field for all students?
What is sad is THAT is what the overall goal is for the kids...and not to use the Ipad to teach each child creatively and well.
My child’s kindergarten teacher uses hers in our classroom and it’s fantastic. She’s not using it to “level the playing field”, however.
I read ‘level the playing field’ not as a socialist agenda, but that ALL children will be motivated by this tool, regardless of age, ethnicity, abilities, gender, etc. There are so many apps for each and every child’s specific learning abilities, the possibilities for them to achieve successes on a daily basis are incalculable.
The alternate to using advanced technology in the classroom, taught by many liberal, nanny-state unionized teachers?? Just check out the standardized test scores across the nation. :*(
