Technology should only be used in the classroom as a learning enhancement. It shouldn’t be used in place of instruction. When teachers rely too heavily on tablets and other devices, the latest research shows this technology may impede student learning and students’ ability to think critically and analytically to solve complex problems. They do not engage with the material on as deep a level.
Since there is no district-wide policy on the use of technology in the classroom, its use is up to the discretion of the teacher. That means EUSD students in different classrooms are getting vastly different learning experiences, some of which are sub-optimal.
I want to put in place a common sense, evidence-based tech policy that will enhance students’ learning experiences without hindering their ability to actually learn.
