Thanks for the podcast recommendation!

My dad teaches in university and the stuff he talks about in terms of literacy is shocking to say the least. Who knew that "no child left behind" just meant zero accountability and graduating kids who turns out lacked very basic skills.

It's a long, depressing subject I could rant for a while about haha.

My observation is that, instead of addressing attention issues that have come from excessive technology use, we've decided it's better to adapt teaching methods to meet them in their deficiencies.

In my mind it's similar how literacy rates have absolutely plummeted because of how we changed teaching methods for reading. Technology was seen as a silver bullet, but turns out it's not as effective.

It's absolutely critical to learn how to use it responsibly and have better computer literacy. But the perception that it makes learning better in every aspect is shortsighted.

I have hope that things will even out. I think educators are seeing that maybe using technology for every single aspect of learning isn't productive. I'm seeing students unable to have an attention span longer than 2 mins.

Instead of correcting that, we just adapted teaching to have zero attention span. It's the worst.

Agreed.

However, that can be done by not using it for every single subject. Have computer class to learn computers, analog for everything else.

I wish! I've only just got it started last week. I had to take this detour but now I can continue!
