A new report suggests that switching from textbooks to screens has not been beneficial to Canadian students.

The Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy says laptops, tablets, and other mobile devices are having a negative impact on kids in the classroom. One key finding suggests that students are easily distracted by games, messaging, and surfing the web, as opposed to completing their work, creating fragmented attention spans.

It also states that children are developing an overdependence on the internet and are losing the ability to think or search for answers themselves.

The report adds that the world’s highest performing education systems still utilize textbooks. For example, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan continue to provide students as young as ten years old with textbooks.
