[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is inaccurate and frankly naive. There is NO correlation between playing math/letter games on an iPad and being successful in a professional/technical career. If we want to support development of technical skills then an occasional lab is more than sufficient and screens do not need to be integrated into every activity. [/quote] +1 Many of my students have difficulty staying focused for a 10-12 minute picture book read aloud, no matter how funny or engaging. This was rarely a problem 20 years ago. Ironically,I have been encouraged to try using rewards--like watching a 3 minute video--to help students focus. The amount of screen time students get at school and at home is impacting their ability to learn, and we are just waiting for the research to catch up to what teachers already know.[/quote]
