We cannot talk about the future of education without talking about screens.

I work at a research center at a university and it pisses me off that most researchers and our bosses when they talk about the future of education they only talk about AI. Don’t get me wrong, it’s relevant and important, but we can’t talk about the future without considering the subjects: the kids.

I did my research about the impact of screens in the development of kids 4-6 and teachers continually mention how they don’t have imagination since they have a screen to create the picture. And they talk about how kids are incapable of processing long instructions like: sit down, open your green notebook and write the date on the top right corner; they start asking what notebook, write what and where.

Also, the impact screens have in the attention span. The addiction to dopamine and the multitasking. Research shows constantly changing topics from one topic to another (like a dog video to a news video) is making our brain seek constant change. It’s not (always) adhd, it’s how the brain is adapting.

It seriously pisses me out how the universities and many educational facilities just focus on AI.
