The Over Dominance of Computers - Lowell W. Monks
Overview:
In his article, "The Overdominance of Computers," Mr. Monks examines the idea that computers may possibly be playing a role in young people's lives that might not be in their best interest. He questions the long standing assumption that access to computers from a young age helps student achievement. He also understands the power that comes with technology and believes that instead of giving younger children a free rein on technology, teachers should instill the qualities in the younger generation that will encourage students to use the power that comes with technology in an ethical manner. Mr. Monk offers some helpful solutions such as waiting to teach technology instruction until after elementary school, and encouraging younger students to engage in hands on school experiences such as drama, and outdoor activities.
