  • Above all, it's time for all of us, whichever side of the debate we fall, to admit that "screen-time" or "screen-based media" is a throwaway term, unless some specific context is provided.

    Very valid points here raised about the "screentime" issue. In general, we all need to be much more specific in our critiques.

  • The designers would think, “First, we’ll tell them the common concerns about heat, to make sure everyone knows them. Then we’ll tell them what our own research shows about the heat and why it’s not a big deal. Then we’ll tell them how to respond to heat objections, and finally we’ll let them practice with a scenario.” Why did I label this “boring and inefficient?” The learners have to trudge through many screens before they finally get to use their brains. Some people already know the stuff presented on the many screens. The how-to info is presented immediately before the scenario, making the scenario a simple check of short-term memory.

    Great rationale. Less talking; more doing. Less us; more them. Situated learning.

  • SnapChat is publicity ... with privacy
  • SnapChat isn’t really ephemeral – and the likelihood that SnapChat photos will get captured and stored permanently is growing each day.
  • Snaps for a time, contrary to its stated policy of deleting them once they have been opened
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The bigger threat to SnapChat and its users, though, may come from third party platforms and applications, which can easily undermine the privacy protections that are seemingly built into the platform. Early releases of Apple’s iOS operating system changed the way in which screen shots could be taken, making it impossible for the SnapChat application to detect when screenshots of SnapChat images were captured.
  • SnapHack Pro, for sale on the iOS App Store. It allows users to log in using their SnapChat credentials and send and receive Snaps. The difference: all images opened and viewed in SnapHack are permanent.
  • claims to online anonymity and privacy are falling left and right.
  • The only way to win, then, is “not to play

    Users, kids and adults alike, need to realize that even with tools like Snapchat, privacy is an illusion. Even Snapchat admits this in its own privacy policy.

multitasking attention distraction mindfulness research highered

  • It’s multitasking while learning that has the biggest potential downside
  • 80 percent of college students admit to texting during class; 15 percent say they send 11 or more texts in a single class period.
  • Texting, emailing, and posting on Facebook and other social media sites are by far the most common digital activities students undertake while learnin
  • ...19 more annotations...
  • “Young people have a wildly inflated idea of how many things they can attend to at once
  • “Under most conditions, the brain simply cannot do two complex tasks at the same time. It can happen only when the two tasks are both very simple and when they don’t compete with each other for the same mental resources.
  • They may like to do it, they may even be addicted to it, but there’s no getting around the fact that it’s far better to focus on one task from start to finish.”
  • the assignment takes longer to complete
  • The moment of encoding is what matters most for retention
  • memory of what they’re working on will be impaired if their attention is divided
  • This ability to resist the lure of technology can be consciously cultivated,
  • “even if distraction does not decrease the overall level of learning, it can result in the acquisition of knowledge that can be applied less flexibly in new situations.”
  • leads to more mistakes
  • texting and using Facebook—in class and while doing homework—were negatively correlated with college students’ GPAs.
  • “There’s a definite possibility that we are raising a generation that is learning more shallowly than young people in the past,” he says. “The depth of their processing of information is considerably less, because of all the distractions available to them as they learn.”
  • academic and even professional achievement may depend on the ability to ignore digital temptations while learning
  • kids who were better able to delay gratification not only achieved higher grades and test scores but were also more likely to succeed in school and their careers.
  • hose who were interrupted more often scored worse on a test of the lecture’s content; more interestingly, those who responded to the experimenters’ texts right away scored significantly worse than those participants who waited to reply until the lecture was over.
  • students who used Facebook during the 15-minute observation period had lower grade-point averages than those who didn’t go on the site
  • “Young people’s technology use is really about quelling anxiety,” he contends. “They don’t want to miss out.
  • Device-checking is a compulsive behavior that must be managed, he says, if young people are to learn and perform at their best.
  • ‘This is a time when you will concentrate on just one thing.’ ”
  • Just make sure when they’re doing schoolwork, the cellphones are silent, the video screens are dark, and that every last window is closed but one.

    Great piece on the deleterious effects of multitasking on learning and the importance of teaching mindfulness and attention literacy in a highly digital and connected landscape.
