We need Less Screens in Schools

 Another great talk from the ARC Conference (Alliance for Responsible Citizenship).  This one detailing the negative impacts of screen-time for children and youth, and the complete lack of empirical basis for introducing screens for "educational purposes" into schools.

Despite the lobbying and marketing from software companies, he only evidence we have suggests a negative correlation between increased use of tablets and smartphones for "educational" purposes and actual educational outcomes - with all the other negative effects of screens on developing brains thrown in as well.
