Hawk fans gonna turn on Stanley
Iowa fans recognize that Stanley is good at overwhelming poor teams but is usually inept against teams that punch back. The only two games of his career where he's really shown some mettle was his perfomance against isu 2 years ago (but if we are honest that was more Wadley driving the final...- lets-talk

"Education" websites use in elementary schools
Ok, found a techcrunch article in case random perusers are interested -- https://techcrunch.com/2016/06/25/seesaw-education/ Excerpt: Seesaw also substitutes for managing huge stacks of paper. Beyond tracking each student separately, the new $120 per year Seesaw Plus premium version includes a... -

Good to get your feedback. Do you know who actually owns the data? (I realize seesaw claims they don't) -

"Education" websites use in elementary schools
Thanks, I'm trying to get as much info as possible before deciding. From the sound of it (unless somebody can speak to this otherwise), there is no facility to delete historical videos (or other submissions) from the past. Unrelated question-- is using a mobile app merely for convenience or is... -

Wow! All I did was ask a rational question as a parent. What could possibly be my agenda? -

Ask what? If you mean why I created this thread, it's to understand what other parents did (assuming that they already went through the process of looking up this site etc) -

I did see that but went looking for 3rd party verification. Those of you whose kids are using this -- are you (your kid) able to delete stuff later? For example at year end, can you get rid of the content you posted? -

I'm talking about kids expressing their thoughts on a 3rd party site. Maybe when the kids graduate, Harvard pays to mine the data and decide that certain kids fit their profile while others don't. -

"Education" websites use in elementary schools
The bolded part is part of the site's business plan no doubt but i suppose as a parent it's my job to figure out whether my concerns are unwarranted. If you don't let your kids twitter or facebook, surely this seems like something as bad or even worse (behavior tracking, learning tracking... -

No, it's an unpaid service. And that concerns me. Google and apple are already in the schools but i don't have much of a choice there. -

There's no money my kids school's paying this site, i guarantee that. -

"Education" websites use in elementary schools
The kids are up to their eyeballs in tech already. I am sure the functionality is fine but it's not offering anything necessary while downsides (to me at least) exist (unless explained away). I'm not the guy you responded to but the "fun" and "love it" doesnt resonate with me as a good enough... -

Lets say it's a given that this site delivers some functionality to you as a parent and to the teacher. The obvious question to ask particularly with kids in the frame is what's in it for the site operator. -

I haven't reacted at all :) other than looking up the site. That said, nobody has concerns about the data collection and privacy info i pasted about the site? I mean even adults seem seriously concerned these days about tracking. Do your kids already twitter and facebook in elementary school... -

Kid brings home permission slip to upload assigment-videos (playing violin) to a education website (calledseesaw). Teacher says only parents and teachers can view videos. That may be true but when I googled the site, I came across... -

I35 or I235 rush-hour between airport and Des Moines Golf & Country club area?
Thanks. That's what google's showing. So how long does the drive take during rush hour? If it's a really bad commute may be I will change hotels. -

I35 or I235 rush-hour between airport and Des Moines Golf & Country club area?
How bad is rush hour (both AM and PM) between the DSM airport area and Des Moines Golf & Country club area? Which is the preferred route (I35 or I235)? 19-minutes (per current google estimate) cab-rides don't sound too bad but does it get much worse during rush hour? Basically, I've apparently...
