Technology and education go hand-in-hand nowadays, which means it’s more important than ever before to ensure tech is used purposefully within the classroom. With students and educators each accessing 40+ tech tools each year, there’s a real risk of getting lost in the technology at the expense of developing critical soft skills like communication and collaboration.
The amount of time we spend on devices outside of the classroom further exacerbates this challenge. Students as young as 8-12 years old are already spending an average of 5.5 hours per day on screens (excluding time in the classroom).
