I am happy to report that we have acquired enough technology at AV for every learner to have access to a device. There are various educational benefits to using technology in the classroom, and we want to ensure the total amount of screen time learners have access to does not exceed the medical recommendations in a recent CBS News article.  

“Children are also exposed to unhealthy food advertising while on their devices. In addition, the blue light from screens can hinder their ability to fall asleep, and lack of sleep may contribute to obesity risk.”
