Drawing on educational research, classroom observations, and practical examples, the author questions common assumptions about technology-driven learning and encourages readers to consider when digital tools enhance education—and when traditional teaching methods may be more effective. The book discusses topics such as screen time, reading comprehension, critical thinking, classroom engagement, and the importance of teacher-led instruction.
