Is Screen Time in the Classroom Helping or Hurting Students?

Screen time in classrooms — it's one of the most debated topics in education right now. Rick and Tisha dig into the real question: not whether to use technology, but how.

They explore what intentional technology use actually looks like, why so many schools are getting screen time policies wrong, and what happens to teachers when they're stripped of autonomy over how they use it. From the link between tech overload and burnout to bold predictions about where education is headed — this is a conversation that doesn't shy away from the hard stuff.
