Change in Education

1. Change in Education

1.6. THINK

THINK: Manfred Spitzer, a German neuroscientist, coined the term "Digital Dementia." He suggests that the excessive use of digital technology may lead to a decline in cognitive abilities. His book of the same name sparked heated discussions on internet usage, with some supporting his ideas while others claim they are exaggerated.

Do you support the notion that the overuse of technology can result in digital dementia? As a teacher, what can and should you do to ensure that learners benefit from using technology in their education?
