In today’s classrooms and homes, tablets, educational apps, and AI tools play a big role—especially for students in both CBSE and Cambridge syllabi. Parents often worry about balancing tech use with healthy habits. The truth? When used thoughtfully, technology can enhance learning, boost creativity, and support deeper understanding—especially when guided correctly.

Key Takeaways (This Week)


  • Embrace learning tools—tools like educational apps can supplement traditional learning effectively.

  • Avoid total tech bans—set smart limits but don’t remove digital opportunities.

  • Model healthy habits—parental screen behaviour sets the tone.

Navigating the Digital Age: Myths, Mistakes & Must-Knows


Myth 1: “Screens Hinder Learning”

Reality: Interactive apps and AI resources can reinforce critical thinking and concept clarity—when paired with teacher guidance.

Myth 2: “More Screen Time = Better Learning”

Reality: Quality matters more than quantity. Short, focused learning sessions outperform long passive screen use.

Mistake 1: Complete Tech Bans at Home

Instead, create tech-free windows and also model balanced tech use yourself to set a healthy tone.

Mistake 2: Over-Relying on Screens for Homework

Digital tools should supplement—not replace—reading, writing, and offline exercises.

Must-Know 1: Encourage Hybrid Learning

Encourage students to learn online (research, documentaries) and then explain or teach what they learned to reinforce retention.

Must-Know 2: Use Tech for Creativity

Platforms like coding apps, multimedia storytelling tools, and virtual labs fuel curiosity and problem-solving.


“Whether it’s CBSE or Cambridge, guided tech use—paired with hands-on learning and reflection—creates future-ready thinkers who remain grounded and balanced.”
