Not a big surprise. In my opinion technology needs mostly to be eliminated from the classroom except on classes designed to teach how to use it and how it works. Its a distraction for most students.

I don’t care how they try to stop it, give a kid computer/tablet/etc and they will figure out a way to play games on it, send messages to friends, and do anything else other than the schoolwork assigned to them.

The human brain evolved in a complex environment with all sorts of stimulus. It needs varied interactions with the environment to process and retain information effectively.
