I SO believe in using Siri/iPad/Apps WHATEVER to get the homework done. After all it's the way of the future that our kids are heading towards isn't it? A future in which our kids will shine ;-)<br /><br />Oh and Minecraft a HUGE hit here too!<br /><br />xx Jazzyjazzygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069218745940412457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428166683371800.post-58761007878977593562013-02-21T11:58:17.195-06:002013-02-21T11:58:17.195-06:00Really, what is the point of an assignment that re...Really, what is the point of an assignment that results in locating and recording that information for 50 states (or however many you get done in the school year)? I guess one point could be figuring out how to find the information or distill it from a lot of other information -- but it doesn't take 50 states to do that, so maybe Siri every other state? Or maybe the point is that states have things that are the same and some things that are different, then getting the information from Siri works. If it has a fine motor component, then writing down the info from Siri satisfies that goal <br /><br />Sounds like your compromise of Siri sometimes works really well for you and the assignment and is a lesson by itself.

I'm a (unemployed) special ed teacher and I agree completely that by and large, the things kids are required to "learn" is a bunch of useless crap. Unless you're going to compete on Jeopardy. Then of course you need to know the state bird of Arkansas. handflapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045694265154252290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428166683371800.post-26365067684144133132013-02-18T19:51:27.232-06:002013-02-18T19:51:27.232-06:00Okay, I guess we can share her... because Siri is ...Okay, I guess we can share her... because Siri is MY BFF! iLoveShellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09718126600401791048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428166683371800.post-56578377053602495372013-02-18T19:51:05.304-06:002013-02-18T19:51:05.304-06:00Okay, I guess we can share her... because Siri is ...Okay, I guess we can share her... because Siri is MY BFF! iLoveShellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09718126600401791048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822428166683371800.post-82474775757725686162013-02-18T18:06:35.953-06:002013-02-18T18:06:35.953-06:00Okay.
