Rethinking Technology in the Classroom: It’s Not Screen Time, It’s Design

What this episode covers

In this episode, I take a closer look at the growing conversation around technology in education. With rising concerns about screen time, student attention, and mental health, many schools are starting to question their use of devices. But what does the research actually say? I unpack key insights from a recent American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement, highlighting an important distinction: it’s not just how much time students spend on screens, it’s what they’re doing on them. Then I contrast that research with what I see in classrooms every day and explore what it means for schools moving forward.
