In this episode of Make EdTech 100, I’m responding to the TikTok comments — and yes, there were a lot of them.
“It’s too late.” “That’s on parents, not teachers.” “Banning is the only answer.” I get the frustration. But I strongly disagree with the conclusion.
When students walk out of our buildings and into a world saturated with technology — and they will — what did we do to prepare them? If the answer is “we took the devices away,” we failed them.
This episode makes the case for explicitly teaching healthy technology use: what it looks like in classrooms, why going fully analog isn’t enough, and why the window to get this right is shorter than it’s ever been.
