Jangan-jangan… guru yang over-exploiting technology itu adalah kita? Di tengah banyaknya platform, AI tools, interactive games, videos, and digital activities, sometimes we become so focused on making learning engaging that we forget to ask a more important question: “Is this actually helping my students learn better?” Technology can support participation and access to learning, but when it is overused or disconnected from the learning objective, it can also become a distraction. More technology does not automatically mean more learning. From a pedagogical perspective, the question should never be “What technology can I use today?” but rather “ mWhat does my student need to achieve this learning goal?” Sometimes the answer is an AI tool, an interactive platform, or a digital simulation. But sometimes, the most meaningful learning happens through something much simpler: reading, writing by hand, discussing, moving, experimenting, questioning, and having a real conversation with the teacher. So, before adding another app, game, or digital activity to our lesson plan, perhaps we need to pause and reflect: Is technology making my students learn better or am I simply making my lesson look more technological? Because digital literacy is not only about knowing how to use technology, but also knowing when to use it, when not to use it, and why And maybe, as teachers, that is a part of digital literacy that we still need to learn, too. #overusetechnology #technologyforeducation #edutechnology #edutech #technologyforlearning
