“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.

教育ソフトウェア会社Lightspeed Systemsによると、昨年度、小学1年生から高校3年生までの生徒が学校から支給された端末を授業時間中に平均52分使用した。この時間は減少しており、同社はその理由として、一部の学校がテクノロジーの使用を制限する動きを見せていることを挙げている。.
Middle-schoolers spent about 70 minutes daily on screens in school during the past school year, more than elementary- and high-schoolers.”
