Sweden embraced screens in classrooms and pushed books aside. Years later, the country is making a costly reversal that says everything about what went wrong.
Not a big surprise. In my opinion technology needs mostly to be eliminated from the classroom except on classes designed to teach how to use it and how it works. Its a distraction for most students.
I don’t care how they try to stop it, give a kid computer/tablet/etc and they will figure out a way to play games on it, send messages to friends, and do anything else other than the schoolwork assigned to them.
The human brain evolved in a complex environment with all sorts of stimulus. It needs varied interactions with the environment to process and retain information effectively.
