“The Digital Delusion” connects the collapse in standardized test scores to the rise of education technology in public schools. It’s driving a heated debate.
Chromebooks are not educational tools, they’re a glorified web terminal locked down by google and your school administration to only allow you access to internet slop and the poorly implemented COPPA filter.
Your TI-84 calculator grants you more access than those piece of junk plastic tablets.
Entire generations of children are growing up tech illiterate because it’s impossible for them to learn how to actually create or do anything useful with technology.
Even if you want to use them for dynamic assignments which eliminates the need for paper, I would only consider it if they used e-ink displays.
Even though Windows is not great, it doesn’t stop you from executing stuff locally like CAD software, video editing, coding, etc.
And it should be limited to a lab/lab time where use of a computer or laptop is actually required.
I’d still rather see a district chuck OpenSUSE at computers though lol.
