From Afternoons, 3:10 pm on 5 November 2024

School fairs and sausage sizzles up and down the country often raise money to pay for technology in the classroom like laptops or tablets. But educational technology is not the panacea we've been told it is says Amy Tyson.  She's the co-founder of a group called EverySchool that seeks raises the alarm about the often haphazard way technology is introduced to kids in schools without considering research.
