We all have questions about screen time, not only for our students in class but for our children at home. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children younger than 2 years old get no screen time at all. For older children 1-2 hours of electronic media per day. In school, teachers need to ask themselves how and when electronic media is used. Justification for its use needs to be determined and then to leverage the efficiency of digital tools that best serve our young learners.
This is a most interesting article and should be read by all teachers because we are all required to use digital tools in our classes. Just how, when, and why are important questions to answer.
