In a recent post on The Principal of Change blog, George Couros highlighted recommendations for children's screen time (AAP, 2018.05.01), and posed three questions to frame thinking about ways to use technology both at home and at school:
When we look at how we are using technology, we have to ask:
- Is the way we are using technology building connections or severing them?
- Is this fostering deep learning as well as critical thought and creation, or promoting surface level thinking?
- Are we modeling our learning, balance, and human connection through our use of technology so we can effectively guide our students?
