About this listen

Over the past decade, educational instruction has become increasingly digitized as districts rush to dole out laptops and iPads to every student. Yet the most important question, “Is this what is best for students?” is glossed over. Veteran teachers Joe Clement and Matt Miles have seen firsthand how damaging technology overuse and misuse has been to our kids. On a mission to educate and empower parents, they show how screen saturation at home and school has created a wide range of cognitive and social deficits in our young people. They lift the veil on what’s really going on in schools: teachers who are often powerless to curb cell phone distractions; zoned-out kids who act helpless and are unfocused, unprepared, and unsocial; administrators who are influenced by questionable science sponsored by corporate technology purveyors. They provide action steps parents can take to demand change and make a compelling case for simpler, smarter, more effective forms of teaching and learning.

Great insight into tech use and schools

Good place to start your journey about tech use in our schools and it’s affects on children. I found the narrator robotic to listen to, but the book informative.

robot reader

The reader, even sped up, sounds so robotic it was difficult to listen to. Had I not been so interested in the subject,I would turned it off.

Great content, very difficult to listen to.

Ironically, for this book about the abuse of screen time and technology, it truly sounds like it's being read by a robot. It's distracting and not engaging. Which is disappointing, because the content is of such importance in regards to the well being of not only our children, but all of us.

Interesting food for thought on tech in schools

Good content. Worst narration I've ever experienced on audible. If the content weren't of interest, I would have abandoned listening. The finally chapter was of most value for getting into action.

Great book, terrible narrator!

This book is so important and is very well done. However, this is probably the worst narration of a book I've ever heard. It's distractingly bad...almost like it's being read by a robot. It's just so strange and stilted! Please read this book if you have kids, or if you are a teacher. But trust me, you do not want to listen to the audiobook. It's a really awful performance.
