Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath said older generations “screwed up” giving students access to so much technology: “I genuinely hope Gen Z quickly figures that out and gets mad.”
I’m so glad I’m not the only one seeing this. “Technology” wasn’t the problem, the problem was “learning platforms” that don’t actually teach anything useful, and the fact that teachers weren’t the time or resources to actually integrate it meaningfully. Just throwing kids at Blooket or whatever nonsense software the district paid for is not “integrating computers into the classroom.”
