At last year's CoSN (Consortium for School Networking ) conference, we heard from the amazing Candice Odgers. This morning, her new TED Talk was released, and it is one that every single educator, parent, politician, and citizen in our country needs to listen to. Everyone seems to think that banning social media, cell phones, or educational technology will be some kind of savior for our students, and there is NO EVIDENCE that it will work; in fact, it may be harming people who need it most.
A couple of thoughts that resonated with me from her talk:
Two things can be true. First, the internet, social media, and tech industry requires a major overhaul and regulation - to clean up toxic content, misinformation, and abuse. And, second, banning teens from online spaces will not fix the internet or help our kids, but it may make things worse.
and
Instead of fixing the online world...we are punishing victims by taking away the places that they go to connect with friends, consume youth culture, and sadly, often escape people who are harming them offline.
Technology companies need to be held accountable; that is the work that needs to be done. Banning cell phones, social media, and educational technology does nothing to fix these problems. We have to teach our kids how to live in this world and make sure that tech companies build systems that don't hurt them, too.
Please watch and share!
