Definitely. While I agree with rolling back some of these tech first policies, I think we need to be focusing on HOW it’s used.

I worry that disabled kids will be caught in the line of fire, too.

    If they were digital e-readers, that can also be used for notetaking tasks and to distribute and resubmit homework assignments and tests, but without the extended abilities to install social apps, etc., that would be an ideal type of device.

    But as long as we keep distributing more-capable devices that have limiters installed on them, kids will find a way to remove the limitations and abuse the devices.

    This could address concerns of both convenience and address students with special needs.
