in my old life I worked with a lot of the people who developed the devices and apps we use. NONE of these people allow tech in their schools or in their homes, they know the damage. Today, in my 5th grade classes, I started saying “no” to the use of the tablets and computers due to the amount of time they spend playing brainless games. Instead the para and I put together materials to discuss current events, like the SCOTUS decision on voting rights. The students were truly engaged. By the time the class came back to me for homeroom it was clear they had thought about what we discussed and had questions, and they were no longer asking for the computers. I made a difference for a single day…
