Teachers' Mixed Views on Digital Tools
According to a new national report titled Teaching for Tomorrow: Screen Wise from the Walton Family Foundation and Gallup, in partnership with the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, a disconnect exists between how digital tools are mandated and how they actually function in schools. While 59% of educators agree that digital devices help students learn effectively, only 10% strongly agree, and 52% believe that devices do as much harm as good. Rather than calling for mandatory daily screen-time limits, teachers emphasize that having a greater voice in tool selection and better monitoring capabilities are key to successful integration. [1]
