- Summary:
- Our children are struggling. Schools, once alive with deep learning born of human connection, are now dominated by screens. The result is unmistakable: falling performance, fractured attention, and the slow erosion of rigorous thought. We were told that classroom technology was progress. It wasn't. In The Digital Delusion, neuroscientist and educator Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath reveals why digital tools in school consistently undermine learning--and what parents, teachers, and schools can do to push back with purpose. Drawing on decades of neuroscience and education research, Horvath dismantles the core myths driving the EdTech movement, and offers a practical playbook for putting people--not programs--back at the center of education. This is not a call to reject technology. It's a call to reclaim real learning.
