Description
From phone bans to viral headlines, the backlash against classroom technology is real—and educators can't afford to ignore it. This session names that tension head-on and reframes the real question: not device or no device, but purposeful use or passive use—shifting the conversation from screen time to screen value.
You'll leave with practical criteria for evaluating when tech actually serves learning, language for talking with skeptical parents and administrators, and classroom moves that shift technology from a management problem to an instructional asset.
