well then i guess we don't agree on that - personally i see all information technology as an extension/evolution of the same, from writing to printing to computing and now to digital networking; it's inevitable and then becomes more accessible which in turn "lowers the standard" so to speak because of the wider spectrum of usage, whether "proper" or not
and per the piece you shared, i agree that children need to touch grass and have real world experiences; and i agree that the declining pisa scores should be a valid concern. but i don't see any "science fact" that establishes that digital tech in the classroom is making kids dumber. if anything, this op-ed doesn't look at any of the other variables that have changed in the education landscape, which includes increasing underfunding of schools, over-politicization of standard curriculum (in general, not meant to lean one way or the other), changing socioeconomics & demographics of students in compulsory education, just to name a few considerations
sorry, this is getting way too long 😅
