Instead teachers at the Waldorf School of the Peninsula prefer a more hands-on,
experiential approach to learning that contrasts sharply with the rush to fill
classrooms with the latest electronic devices. The pedagogy emphasises the role of
imagination in learning and takes a holistic approach that integrates the intellectual,
practical and creative development of pupils.
But the fact that parents working for pioneering technology companies are
questioning the value of computers in education begs the question – is the futuristic
dream of high-tech classrooms really in the best interests of the next generation?
“Those students who use tablets and computers very often tend to do worse than
those who use them moderately,” he adds.
Other reports have raised concerns about the potentially negative impact of social
media on young people, and the disruptive behaviour associated with use of mobile
phones and tablets in the classroom is being examined in the UK.

Beverly Amico, leader of outreach and development at the Association of Waldorf
Schools of North America, explains that their approach uses “time-tested truths about
how children learn best. [...] Lessons are delivered by a human being that not only
cares about the child’s education, but also about them as individuals,” she says.
“What do you remember as a child in the classroom? It is usually field trips, getting
your hands dirty in a lab or a beautiful story. Those are the things that stay with you
50 years later.”
Amico claims one of the reasons parents working in the digital industry are choosing
a lo-tech, no-tech education for their children is that it teaches students the
innovative thinking skills many employers desire. She adds that students weaned on
technology often lack that ability to think outside the box and problem solve.
Sarah Thorne, head of the London Acorn school, also questions the assumption that
limiting or removing the use of technology in class will have a negative impact on
student’s future employability.
Students under the age of 12 at the school in Morden, London, are banned from
using smartphones and computers, and watching TV or films at all times, including
during holidays. The school’s ethos is of a “gradual integration” of electronic devices
throughout the child’s development with students allowed to watch television once
they reach 12 years old and then only documentaries that have been previously
vetted by parents. They cannot watch films until they are 14; the internet is banned
completely for everyone under 16 – at home and at school; and computers are only
to be used as part of the curriculum for over-14s.
It may sound draconian, but Thorne believes taking a more considered approach to
the use of technology in class allows teachers to help students develop core skills
such as executive decision making, creativity and concentration – all of which are far
more important than the ability to swipe an iPad or fill in an Excel spreadsheet. [...]
Thorne claims feedback from students about the restrictions has been positive;
younger pupils relish the opportunity to play and even teenagers who have
transitioned from a mainstream school admit they are happier. […]
