BE IT RESOLVED: iPads and the general state of craziness!

A longtime 4LAKids reader, a teacher and teacher-of-teachers,  e-mails:

Mon, Nov 11, 2013 3:04 pm  ::  The [teachers union and administrators union] survey results clearly indicate that teachers need much more support and training on the use of the iPads in order to feel comfortable with them in the classroom.

 

Whereas iPads are not a constructivist tool but an informational tool, and

Whereas students cannot complete the higher order thinking and application skills of analysis and synthesis on an informational tool, and

Whereas teachers are unprepared to manage classrooms of 35 and above with extensive special needs students included,

Be it resolved that the LAUSD has taken its final turn down the path to utter destruction.

What in all that is wonderful and worthwhile is going on?!
