ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "Agree or disagree: Schools need less technology and more pencils and books."
Michael examines the growing backlash against classroom technology, inspired by neuroscientist Dr. Jared Horvath's bestselling book "The Digital Delusion" (hear that interview on The Book Club with Michael Smerconish Podcast!). Has America's decades-long experiment with laptops and tablets in the classroom undermined reading comprehension and academic performance, or are critics confusing correlation with causation? Michael explores the evidence, the sharp decline in student achievement, international trends like Sweden's return to printed textbooks, and why even supporters of educational technology are questioning whether schools have gone too far.
