Nowadays, the use of social media are very common even among children during their early age. Has the current use of these communication tools contribute to students’ behavior problems?
I think "digital distraction" is an issue for people of all ages now because of constant digital media use. There is also some research about it.
There are recent studies on the use of communication and social communication tools in education, and thus the damages can be reduced if they are activated in a manner consistent with these children and students in schools.
