Low-tech teaching shows who's confused and who's not paying attention. Students can't hide behind their screens.

Melania Trump is promoting robot teachers, but few think bots will replace humans in the classroom.

Learning isn't natural. Teachers need to teach, not just "guide" or "nurture."

“When tech enters education, learning goes down,” neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath told a U.S. Senate subcommittee. His testimony went viral . In The Digital Delusion , Horvath makes the case that declining test scores are linked to rising screen time. Classroom technology, such as a laptop or tablet for every student, is undermining learning, he argues. The anti-tech "message is resonating with some parents, educators, and lawmakers," writes Matt Barnum on Chalkbeat. As

Gamifying education might be fun for kids, but they're not likely to learn very much.

The more time students spend on screens the less they learn, argues neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath.

Students are using Chromebooks and iPads, starting in kindergarten. Most teachers say devices cause distractions.

It's not just smartphones: Classroom laptops are distracting students, say teachers.

Internet-connected devices are distracting students -- not helping them learn.

If students don't learn foundational math skills, they tend to fall farther and farther behind.
