How much time do students spend on the computer?
We expect that students will spend no more than 20–25 percent of their time on the computer in the early grades. We believe in a balanced approach toward education. Computers help us provide you with effective assessment, planning, and time-management tools. Computers also act as powerful teaching tools that can motivate, stimulate, and inform children about the world around them. They do not, however, replace a solid education. Rather, they help facilitate one. That’s why we use a unique multimedia approach that also includes a great deal of old-fashioned books, workbooks, and instructional materials. At the high school level, students will spend nearly their entire school day online.
