As two veteran teachers who have taught thousands of students, Joe
Clement and Matt Miles have seen firsthand how damaging technology
overuse and misuse has been to our students. Rather than becoming
better problem solvers, kids look to Google to answer their
questions for them. Rather than deepening students' intellectual
curiosity, educational technology is too often cumbersome and
distracting, causing needless frustration and greatly extending
homework time. Rather than becoming the great equalizer, electronic
devices are widening the achievement gap. On a mission to educate
and empower parents, Clement and Miles provide many real-world
examples and cite multiple studies showing how technology use has
created a wide range of cognitive and social deficits in our young
people. They lift the veil on what's really going on at school:
teachers who are powerless to curb cell phone distractions;
zoned-out kids who act helpless and are unfocused, unprepared, and
antisocial; administrators who are too-easily swayed by the
pro-tech "science" sponsored by corporate technology purveyors.
They provide action steps parents can take to demand change and
make a compelling case for simpler, smarter, more effective forms
of teaching and learning.
