Personally I don’t think we should be using computers for education for K-6. At least not until they create a first class educational MMORPG.
For some disturbing reason I see images of students downloading computer games and porn while the teacher thinks they’re looking at wonderful pictures of diversity and inclusion. At least the students will be feeling good about themselves.
Last fall I was teaching in an inner city school when the incoming freshmen were given taxpayer funded iPads. Within 24 hours the kids had figured out how to bypass the building WIFI with its controlled content. They used their taxpayer-funded O-phones to hotspot. They were watching football, facebooking, surfing, etc. Anything but learning. We teachers were told that we had to let them use the ‘tools’ and the kids were encouraged to take notes on them. Of course they weren’t taking notes, but in a crowded classroom, it was difficult to move around quickly enough to catch them when they were off-task on them. It was a mess. After I left, I heard that some of the kids were caught taking pictures of each other in sexual poses and acts in the building and sending them around, using their iPads. Sheer idiocy.
I have to cut some of these city school admins a little slack, though. Most of their "students" are as dumb as a box of rocks so they have to at least act like they are doing something to earn their inflated salaries.
