Education Week - K-12 education news and information
The Canon-McMillan school district in Pennsylvania is among those scaling back students’ classroom screen time.
Students in grades K-2 won’t have regular access to school-issued laptops or tablets, students in grades 3-8 will have limited access through Chromebook carts, but high school students will continue to have their own school-issued devices to use in class and take home.
Education Week recently interviewed Greg Taranto, the superintendent of the 5,400-student district near Pittsburgh, about the decision to scale back classroom screen time.
They’ll have access to the Chromebooks if a teacher needs the students to have access, but they do not take those devices home at all.
