Lisa Nielsen responds to a Gothamist article reporting on a bill "that would push New York classrooms to become more analog and limit technology use in schools." I agree with her: "The problem is not that school became too digital. Digital is a scapegoat for the real problem. Too often school was boring, passive, and disconnected long before students had smartphones, laptops, or AI. Technology gave students a place to turn when the classroom was not stimulating or relevant enough." Anyone who ever studies my paper-based university notes will find large and incredibly detailed maps of imaginary cities I would create while waiting for something - anything - to occupy my attention. "Don't pretend paper magically fixes school. Children need movement, conversation, play, collaboration, hands-on work, outdoor learning, art, music, reading, writing, and relationships. They also need to learn in a world where technology is real."
