Strategies for healthier screen time, attention management, and balanced technology use in education
The myth of multitasking has been thoroughly debunked by neuroscience research, yet our digital educational environments continue to be designed as if simultaneous processing were not only possible but preferable.
In an era where digital distraction has become the norm rather than the exception, educators face an unprecedented challenge: how to maintain student focus in environments constantly competing for attention.
