  • The announcement said, “Scientific research and policy statements lag behind the pace of digital innovation,” and noted that the organization’s screen time policies were written before the rise of the iPad (Brown, Shifrin, & Hill, 2015)
  • The AAP’s current guidelines are that television and other entertainment media should be avoided for children younger than 2 years old and that older children and teens should limit screen time to 2 hours per day (AAP, 2015)
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Is abstinence from screen time realistic for children younger than 2? Can older children navigate a digital world with no more than 2 hours per day of screen time?
  • “The question before us is whether electronic media use in children is more akin to diet or to tobacco use. With diet, harm reduction measures seem to be turning the tide of the obesity epidemic. With tobacco, on the other hand, there really is no safe level of exposure at any age. My personal opinion is that the diet analogy will end up being more apt” (Kamenetz, 2016).
  • The risks of excessive screen time have been well-studied, although many of the cornerstone studies in this area focus on television viewing rather than the use of mobile media devices like smartphones and tablets.
  • n general, screen time exposure is associated with less physical activity, poorer diet choices, disrupted sleep cycles, and a higher body mass index (BMI)
  • Even with the evidence above, it is difficult to say exactly how much screen time is excessive screen time and how newer forms of digital media compare with traditional media like television.

  • This brief examines policies and practices concerning the use of data to inform school improvement strategies and to provide information for accountability. This twin-pronged movement, termed Data-Driven Improvement and Accountability (DDIA), can lead either to greater quality, equity and integrity, or to deterioration of services and distraction from core purposes. The question addressed by this brief is what factors and forces can lead DDIA to generate more positive and fewer negative outcomes in relation to both improvement and accountability. The policy brief concludes with 12 recommendations for establishing more effective and productive systems and processes, derived from its analysis of the relevant research. A report containing model legislation follows, detailing a legal structure that would use data effectively to create a multi-level system of accountability designed for school improvement.

  • Second, there are profound concerns now about the gapsopening up between the ICT haves and have-nots, betweenthose who reinforce their access to, and use of, ICT ineducation by what they have and do at home, and those whoenjoy little of either.

  • Students can dialogue with their counterparts across theglobe. Teachers can create networks and be members ofprofessional teams drawn from far and wide, rather than feeltrapped within the boundaries of the single classroom or eventhe single school.
