    This does not refute the statement and is not a credible source of information.

    Just because something seems contrary doesn't mean we cannot use it in some form to help our rebuttal. This article has all its references at the bottom and is from a teachers association "The Alberta Teachers Association".

2.4 Misinformation Debate

  • Research on Technology and Literacy Educational researchers and practitioners alike assert that the potential of new technologies for learning is likely to be found not in the technologies themselves but in the way in which these technologies are used as tools for learning (Means & Olson, 1995; Owston, 1997; Valdez et al., 1999). In literacy instruction, technology has both traditional and authentic uses (see Singh & Means, 1994). A traditional use of technology is skills reinforcement; for example, students who need additional practice in reading might work individually on computers equipped with reading-comprehension software. An authentic use of technology is using it as a tool to accomplish a complex task; for example, students who are creating a written report might use the Internet for research, word-processing software to write and format the text, and hypermedia software to add images. Therefore, it makes sense to consider the variety of uses as they illustrate best practices.

  • Spending hours in front of screen, whether it is a television or computer, can quickly contribute to a serious decrease in the amount of physical activity that a child gets during the day. Children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day to maintain a healthy weight and level of fitness, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The more tech-time that a child engages in, the less likely it is that he will get in his daily dose of physical activity. This can, in turn, contribute to negative effects such as weight gain

  • children who use social media may not fully understand how the anonymity of the Internet allows predators to pose as kids, putting them at risk in the event that they give out personal information or plan an in-person meeting.
  • Your child can develop a warped sense of reality and what is, and isn't, acceptable when it comes to his actions.
  • The American Academy of Pediatrics, on its Healthy Children website, recommends that parents screen what their kids are watching and discuss negative media images.
  • the media may portray an idealized image of the child or teenager when it comes to weight and appearance.
  • Between the TV, laptops, tablets, cell phones, iPods and all of the other technological devices that your child uses, he is constantly inundated with an array of media images. These often include, and glorify, negative behaviors such as underage drinking, drug use or risky sexual situations
