“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.
Secondo la società di software didattico Lightspeed Systems, gli alunni dalla prima alla dodicesima classe hanno trascorso in media 52 minuti al giorno sui dispositivi forniti dalla scuola durante l'ultimo anno scolastico. Si tratta di un calo, che l'azienda attribuisce alle misure adottate da alcune scuole per limitare l'uso della tecnologia.
Middle-schoolers spent about 70 minutes daily on screens in school during the past school year, more than elementary- and high-schoolers.”
