“School tech has expanded rapidly, fueled partly by the Covid-19 pandemic. Federal aid during the pandemic let districts buy laptops and tablets, and a multibilliondollar ed-tech industry promised to transform teaching and help students recover lost ground.
Proponents said it can elevate instruction, narrow the digital divide, help pupils with language barriers and other needs—while often supplementing, not replacing, core curriculum. Educators have mixed views. In a recent EdWeek Research Center survey, more than half said the tech had a positive impact on engagement, yet a majority also said it negatively affected students’ well-being.
L'année scolaire dernière, les élèves du CP à la terminale ont passé en moyenne 52 minutes par jour sur les appareils fournis par l'école, selon la société de logiciels éducatifs Lightspeed Systems. Ce chiffre est en baisse, ce que l'entreprise attribue aux mesures prises par certains établissements scolaires pour limiter l'utilisation des technologies.
Middle-schoolers spent about 70 minutes daily on screens in school during the past school year, more than elementary- and high-schoolers.”
