Read the excerpt.
We should give up the useless fight with our students
and buy phones for them instead. Some kinds of
screen time work well in school. Research, for
example, is sometimes done more effectively online
rather than tracking down print sources in a library.
Screens also helps us connect with people in other
locations, creating new digital pen pals. Screens can
also be integrated into the classroom to enhance
learning instead of distracting from it.
