Interesting Article about Kids use of technology and boredom and how this relates to learning in the classroom.
https://deeprootsathome.com/kids-bored-entitled/
Here are a few quotes from the article:
"After hours of virtual reality, processing information in a classroom becomes increasingly challenging for our kids because their brains are getting used to the high levels of stimulation that video games provide."
"The ability to delay gratification is one of the key factors for future success. We have the best intentions – to make our children happy – but unfortunately, we make them happy at the moment but miserable in the long term."
