老兄,你确定你的孩子在立化吗?如果是,你没看你的孩子带回来的form吗?那上面要求明天就要填表交钱了, ...
您太激动了,感觉有点“误伤”好心人了。
JUNZIZI说的“这只是学校的意向。。具体要到五六月份才通知”有一定的道理。
看看Kiasuparent里面立化家长的讨论吧:
“I attended the briefing on iPad2 on Sat morning.
I was kind of confused by the message brought across. Will ipad2 be used in the daily teaching? If yes, then all students would need to buy since this will become part of their learning. However, the P & VP mentioned it was not compulsory to buy iPad2 and what does this mean.
Both also said parents of Year 1 could wait for iPad3 which will be introduced to Year 3 onwards. What would be the interim measures when the school has students having iPad2 and others waiting for iPad3 to arrive? How would this device be integrated into the curriculum? A parent mentioned that A level exam is still pen and paper which means relying too much on this device is not consistent with the requirement of A level exam.
Also, with the impending launch of iPad3, what is the hurry of buying iPad2 for Year 1 students? We all hope to buy the latest gadget and hope to last longer during the years in RV.”
“I attended the Sat briefing & I summarized the 2.5hrs iPad briefing as the school is trying to be the 1st school in Sin to embark on full eLearning thru' iPad2', meaning, every student in the school as compared to RGS/Nanyang Girl offering FOC for a few classes (feedback from 2 parents during the brief). They have thought thru' & planned for a year since beginning 2011. Only Apple can offer the solution as of this point & want to work with RV though we know that Android/microsoft is up & coming but not in the educational field in the near future.
We would expect the 1st yr of implementation be lots of teething issues despite the fact that RV has planned for 1 yr.
Overall direction to get the RVians to use electronic device to speed up/enhance learning catching with the fast moving technology & world is right. Now, it is the implementation problem.
What most parent could not understand:
1. Why Apple is so firm on pricing (minimum discount) even RV can purchase almost 3000 iPads. Where is RV leveraging power?
2. Why RV cannot hold on till Apr/May (rumor iPad3 will release end Mar 2012) to be the 1st school to use iPad3 (for those parents who can afford ipad3) as we know that iPad2 price will definitely drop by a few hundred $ after introduction of iPad3. Therefore, help saving the parent some $ if the school can do it just iPad2? (it was explained that iPad2 is sufficient for the next 6 years).
3. School did not demo to the parents some of the learning aid thru' iPad so that we can appreciate the devices.
4. The school is not making the purchasing of iPad2 a compulsory & advise that we can also wait till the Y3 to 6 purchase iPad3 in Jun/Jul or don't even need to purchase at all as there would be some loan sets available. But, they did not explain how those kids would learn in class as compared to the rest if their parent refuse to purchase one.
With 400 Y1 parents discussion already have so many questions, not sure how they roll out to the whole school.”
结论:立化要求中一/中二的家长立即购买Ipad2 ,中三到中六的家长可以等到六月份再买新推出的Ipad3.
