Thanks for posting this update. I just read the full research report from the study. It's disappointing to see that there was zero attention given to health, safety, and developmental concerns regarding the screen use. There needs to be greater connection across researchers in health, technology, and education http://bit.ly/screen_time

Interesting. Being at a BYOD secondary school, it is easy to see how computers that are always accessible can lead to challenges as the teacher competes for student attention. At our most recent English heads meeting one teacher was exploring whether it was worthwhile to invest in a number of iPads. Our consultant made an observation that iPads were like SMART boards. Everyone wants the bling in terms of the latest technology, and while iPads are portable, they are more about multimedia consumption over multimedia production. Laptops are ideal for constructing multimedia texts, but they also make a fine wall that teachers have difficulty seeing beyond. |
