Our Children Can’t Read: How digital media is undermining education and the soul of learning - Tapa blanda

Our Children Can't Read (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. THEY CAN SCROLL, BUT THEY CAN'T READ - AND IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT A quiet catastrophe is unfolding in our classrooms. Children who navigate smartphones with instinctive ease struggle to parse a simple paragraph. Teenagers who spend seven hours a day glued to screens find themselves unable to concentrate long enough to finish a chapter. Teachers across the country report pupils who've lost the capacity for sustained reading - not because they've grown less clever, but because their minds have been fundamentally rewired. This isn't merely an educational issue. It's a human crisis. In Our Children Can't Read, Brendon Naicker reveals: How digital devices are shortening attention spans to below that of a goldfishWhy "multitasking" is a dangerous illusion - with neuroscience proving it damages memory and heightens anxietyThe way algorithms reduce learning to bite-sized content and students to data pointsHow screens are starving young minds of the depth, patience and contemplation that make us truly humanYet all is not lost. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, timeless wisdom and revolutionary solutions - from ancient reading practices to screen-free classrooms - this book offers a way forward. Discover: The shocking truth about why today's teens read less (and retain less) than any previous generation How to recognise "digital dementia" - the alarming new cognitive consequences of tech overload The forgotten art of deep focus - and how to nurture it in an age of distraction Practical strategies to reset young minds, from "Sabbath pedagogy" to analogue learning spaces For exhausted parents, frustrated teachers and anyone who senses modern life is making us shallower: This item is printed on demand.
