Students are spending too much time looking at a screen. This time should de-emphasize the use of technology in the classroom. Technology is helpful in ways for learning but I believe it is more harmful than helpful. I do believe it is more efficient but we are taking it to the next level. If schools are encouraging technology not only are they going to be spending their time motivated by a screen at school they will be getting the wrong message becoming dependent on something outside of themselves.
