Screens, the brain… and the child - A primary school project to educate pupils on sensible use of new technologies

"What makes the “Screens, the brain and the child” project unique is that it brings together two subject issues that have been entirely revolutionized since the second half of the 20th century.
These are information and communication technologies (ICT) and cognitive sciences. It has two goals: the first is to help children discover the functions of the brain that are affected by ICTs, making them aware so that they develop the ability to use screens in a moderately and self-regulatory fashion. The advantage of this original perspective is that it joins good ICT practices, in terms of civic-mindedness, morale and health, together with the physiological workings of the brain, the discovery of which at primary school level can certainly be considered a secondary benefit of this project."
