How can technology and education coexist in harmony during the learning process? On average, children and young people spend about 200 hours a year using computers for educational purposes. However, in that same period, they use the same devices for passive media consumption—often with rapidly changing content—for nearly 2,000 hours, neuroscientist Jared Cooney pointed out during his talk at the IFE Conference 2025. “OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) couple of years ago flat out stated people who use computers very frequently to learn to do a lot worse than most learning outcomes,” said Cooney, who is also an…

Yet, whether it be a quick search for book quotes or asking for a solution to a chemistry problem, 83% of MVHS students still use AI despite the policies.
