Having worked with more than 1200 schools over ten years one thing that seriously needs to be looked at is most definitely the quality of screen time in schools. I just wrote a full strategy and governance update for a school because students were on screens up to 5hr a day before they even got home to their personal screens.
Thank you for this article which is a breath of fresh, balanced air compared to the dominant screen-bashing rhetoric and subsequent policies around phone bans.
Pro-evidence, pro-equity, and pro-quality. Any educationalist who wants to contribute to education but is not governed by those three elements should redefine their mission statement. I have loved the way you go about the screen time in schools. I understand that 'aurea mediocritas' should be the key when our children are using technology.

And this is why we like working with you at Pickatale! Exactly where the focus should be. Looking forward to discussing further at Bett!
Hello Meredith, Pickatale do have a booth! And our Centre has a panel debate you might be interested on Thurs 22nd 4:30PM, Higher ed theatre
Why technology in education should be delivered on screens? No screen doesn’t mean no technology in classroom. Delivery matters.
