According to a survey by Education Week
Research Center, principals and other leaders in the field of education are
concerned about technology’s potentially harmful effects.
Key findings include:
• Most leaders say that students spend
the right amount of screen time in school. However, most are also concerned
that students get too much screen time at home.
• A majority of leaders report that
digital technologies are an important supplemental resource used to personalize
the learning experience based on each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and
preferences.
• More than half of school leaders are
extremely concerned about student social media use outside of school.
• Just under half of leaders are
extremely concerned about cyber-bullying, and are also very concerned about
students’ inability to gauge the reliability of online news.
• Compared to their elementary and high
school peers, middle school leaders are most concerned about student sexting.
Overall, findings suggest that
school-based leaders face multiple challenges as they educate children in an
increasingly technology-focused world.
