This article was very interesting. The author made some unique points about people criticizing too much screentime. The author, Lisa Nielsen, is pushing for the use of technology in schools. She talks about how we need to prepare our students for the future and that means technology and screens. While we want students to exercise and get fresh air we can't completely eliminate technology from their lives or it is our failure as teachers to prepare them for the real world, new careers and up and coming jobs. Screentime is not what is causing obesity, it is the elimination of PE, recess and teaching students about healthy lifestyles. Technology is not 100% to blame. She made some really great points. I would definitely recommend reading this article.
