Too Much Screen Time: Fake News or Real Parental Concern?Julie Evans
Education leaders are perplexed by parents’ views on technology use: parents worry about too much screen time but say digital learning is important. This session will unpack current research on parents’ views and provide K-12 leaders with insights to address screen time concerns with effective messaging and real data.
ICT is used as a teaching tool in primary schools through interactive whiteboards, computers, and internet access. Teachers, students, and parents utilize websites and resources that cover literacy, numeracy, and other subjects. While ICT provides opportunities to engage students and access a variety of learning materials, there are also disadvantages like cost, technical issues, and over-reliance on technology over basic skills. Schools aim to maximize the benefits of ICT while mitigating the disadvantages.
