More screen time doesn't necessarily help learning, and it's not healthy
Now, children around the world have more access to technology for learning than ever before. Over the last 2 years, learners have spent much of their time on remote learning and online platforms for interaction. In addition to these forced online learning environments, children have become more sedentary. More screen time is not healthy physically, nor does increased technology use automatically result in increased academic performance. While technology can offer powerful tools for learning, the lack of movement combined with increased technology use can be detrimental to our children’s overall health and development.
Children need to move for effective learning to take place.
Children need active movement and interaction of the body with the brain for effective learning to take place. Combining technology with highly structured, science-based movement and incorporating both into children’s lives and education, are powerful strategies for achievement.
