“In 2023, the Swedish government announced that the country’s #schools would be going back to #basics, emphasizing skills such as #reading and #writing, particularly in early grades.

After mostly being sidelined, physical #books are now being reintroduced into classrooms, and students are learning to #write the old-fashioned way: by hand, with a #pencil or #pen, on sheets of #paper.”

…

“digital technology isn’t being removed from schools altogether. Rather, digital aids “should only be introduced in teaching at an age when they encourage, rather than hinder, pupils’ learning.” Achieving digital #competence remains an important objective,”

@cobalt123 We have an analog clock in every room. I don't think we have a digital clock in the house, other than like built into another device where the clock isn't the main purpose...

Even my bedside alarm clock is the Timex that I have had forever. #Clock #Time #Analog .
