[quote=Anonymous]My teaching has in some ways been vastly improved by technology because I can bring in photos and videos to build background knowledge, present diagrams for students to analyze, and pre-type questions students will ponder, to save what used to be me tediously writing on a board. But I think student use of technology, at least at the elementary level, has been a disaster. Students’ attention, fine motor, writing, spelling, and reading skills have declined sharply at my school since we began one to one during the pandemic. Our classrooms are much louder, more chaotic, and less learning focused than they were ten years ago. If I had my druthers we would go back to having a couple of computers for students to use as a station when absolutely necessary, and that’s it. New teachers know nothing but technology in the schools, and don’t see the skills our students are missing nor what a truly focused classroom looks and sounds like. All just my opinion.[/quote]
