Almost all of these policies have exceptions for disabilities.
Most technology seems to be used to detract from learning: https://jakeseliger.com/2008/12/28/laptops-students-distraction-hardly-a-surprise https://jakeseliger.com/2008/12/28/laptops-students-distract... rather than enhancing it. Obviously there are exceptions, like spaced-memory repetition software or some computer science classes. But focus and concentration seem to be in short supply, relative to technology.
- mrkurt 7y agoI don't think it does my daughter any favors if she's the only one using an iPad in a classroom, it just makes her obviously different in a way that'll create resentment. She also benefited long before she was diagnosed, I think a lot more kids _can_ make use of screens than are diagnosed with a disability. My general belief is that gadgets are great for kids with the right boundaries, and what we're lacking is (a) parent / teacher experience managing those boundaries and (b) tooling.
