"these tools limit what assessment looks like and penalize students based on flawed interpretations of learning."

"Young people are not viewed as complete human beings but as boxes checked for attendance, for meeting academic progress metrics, or for confirming their location within a school building."

"Another negative effect stemming from this is the issue of a shortened attention span and distraction in the context of the classroom. Not only does the use of electronic devices give ample opportunity to just go on other apps or websites, it also is saturated with stimulation, notifications, and information. "

'The impacts of this phenomenon are very evident in elementary schools. Longer lessons and tasks are often unsuccessful because of distraction, or the way children are accustomed to processing information through technology; in “small, bite-sized pieces”, as described by Santa Maria College."

"Another contributing factor to students’ shortened attention span is that technology, in many cases, removes the need to pay attention at all. The ability to record, screenshot/take pictures of notes, or search up a concept only when it is needed makes students less likely to focus and understand the information being taught. As a result of this, when children learn through or with the heavy assistance of technology, the information tends to be consumed more than it is processed. "

"Technology is seen to limit critical thinking and creativity in school due to its immediate responsiveness. Not needing to reflect on prior knowledge or search for answers/solutions does not assist much in the development of cognitive skill. "

"Matt Dombrowski’s article explains that the various platforms, applications and formats made available to students through technology encourages them to express their ideas in a way that caters to their strengths. This aspect of technology can help promote individuality and can help keep students engaged in their learning. "

"Another important point brought up in this article is that technology provides resources to make learning accessible to more students. Digital applications can adapt to the needs of students with learning disabilities and can provide them with individualized help that would be otherwise unavailable in a standardized classroom setting.
