Absolutely.
So what I'm seeing is that many school districts and independent schools are moving toward one to one.
Uh some are
deep you know, pretty far down that road, five to ten years of tablets in the classroom or kids bringing things like Chromebooks or iPads home with them as well as using them all day at school.
And there are many ways that that's gonna support a kid with executive function challenges or a kid who has really slow and poor handwriting, for example, where they're gonna be able to maybe keyboard more effectively than they could take handwritten notes, or they're going to be able to keep a digital calendar or even take pictures of homework on the board, and maybe that's something that was always getting lost when
you're dealing predominantly with paper.
So that's lovely.
On the other hand, you have a distraction that's with kids all day, and we're seeing many neurotypical kids completely derailed.
By that distraction, especially when it's not used effectively, like if you have teachers who
Maybe we're handed the iPad at the beginning of the year.
This is like the worst case scenario.
It doesn't always happen this way.
It can be much better than this.
But worst case scenario, handed the iPad at the beginning of the year and told
We need to be one to one, here you go.
And all your kids have it and you're just supposed to teach with it.
And many teachers in that situation are not prepared.
maybe to use it effectively to teach students to collaborate or use it to have st you know, student driven learning and to sort of be the the model that ed tech people would say is that the teacher's the lead learner, right?
And that everyone's exploring together.
Well, if you're coming from a completely top down situation where you're used to just running everything from the front of the room.
