Woman injured in East End shooting

Pittsburgh police said they found a woman shot in the arm and more than 40 spent shell casings Tuesday night in the East End.

There were no arrests or suspects as of Tuesday night.

Canon-McMillan ditching Chromebooks for youngest students

The Canon-McMillan School District is ending the use of Chromebook laptops for students in kindergarten through second grade, citing concerns about excessive screen time and developmental issues.

TribLive news partner WTAE reported the shift Tuesday.

“This is just a definitive stance saying we don’t need it,” Greg Taranto, the district’s superintendent, told WTAE. “There are better ways to learn in K-2.”

Canon-McMillan teachers have noticed some children entering kindergarten have poor fine motor skills, which Taranto believes may be linked to scrolling and swiping on digital devices.

Textbooks and face-to-face instruction are being prioritized in place of laptops to varying degrees across the whole district.

Students in third through 12th grade are still using Chromebooks, Google’s low-cost laptops that took over many classrooms starting in the 2010s, but their role is being scaled back.

“It’s not eliminating technology,” Taranto told WTAE. “It’s going to be part of our lives, but it has gone too far.”
