Elementary school Chromebook use
We recently moved to a nice, diverse (many immigrant families), town in NJ. The public schools are ranked #2 in the state, which ofc is based on test scores etc.
I am concerned about the introduction of chromebooks in the elementary school level for math activities and worksheets - especially in light of the increased scrutiny around the negative consequences of screen time for children (Jonathan Haidt’s data methodology is always air tight, but the conclusions in Anxious Generation are hard to ignore/dispute).
I am planning to attend open school board meetings and exploring running for a position in the fall - but curious is anyone here has had success in pushing for Ed tech reform in the lower classrooms? Not fighting computer use in high school, but elementary school seems way too young!
