Many principals and district leadership found that the number one challenge they face to deeper engagement of ed tech in their district isn’t student or teacher tech fatigue. It’s not lost or damaged devices. It’s not insufficient home internet access. The number one challenge to deeper ed tech engagement in their district? Is digital distractions. Innovative instructional efforts to help guide students toward digital self-regulation skills, digital citizenship and implementation of a Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) framework and others when combined with innovative technological advancements, provide viable solutions school leaders should be aware of to help ensure student-use of school-issued devices remains productive and academically focused. This session will provide an overview of the body of research in examining the causes and impacts that digital distractions and media multitasking often have on student achievement.
