Technology enables students with nearly infinite information. But kids need help in learning how to learn in order to be creative and knowledgable.

Eric Moss's curator insight,
June 29, 2015 10:36 AM
I found it extremely interesting looking at the symptoms of an experiment that was done, regarding giving up social media for 24 hours. Students felt phantom phone vibrations, reached for a phone that they didn’t have, and could not stop moving, all effects of not having access to social media for 1 day. I think this is a very serious problem that needs to be addressed. Maybe using social media leads to better employees by reducing stress and bringing about a better work ethic? We cannot just simply skip over this issue, as it seems to be one that will be prominent in years to come. If you are able to get through the workday/school day as a happy, hardworking employee/student, maybe we shouldn’t worry about things like Internet addiction until they become more severe? |

While brain theory is sometimes overrated, this gives good insights.
