Not necessarily. Yes, thoughtful application of technology in the classroom can make some learning tasks more efficient, but these technologies can also distract or dysregulate students or even expose them to harmful content. There’s also very little evidence to suggest that educational technology (or “ed tech”) aids in learning. Instead, most studies suggest that ed tech impairs learning. Go to our resource page for more information!

• Tell your teacher you’d like your child to opt out of 1-to-1 technology and ask for non-tech alternatives.

• Email your administrators: check out our resources for template emails to find out how technology is being used in your school.

• Come to our meetings - contact us to join our next meeting.

• Sign and share our petition!

• Go to community meetings, school board meetings, PTA meetings, etc and encourage leaders to make intentional, research-backed decisions about technology use in classrooms.

Of course! Email us at seattle4intentionaltech@gmail.com or go to our “contact” page and send us a message.

We will keep you updated on meetings and other opportunities to learn and add your voice to this work.
