    All technology ? I’d say having dedicated computer classes could be useful ; although I’m not familiar with how old “year 7” is (unless you litterally mean 7 years old ?)

      All. Studies consistently show students perform worse when they’ve been made reliant on technology.

      The age would be 12-13 for year 7.

        I think “reliant” is the key word though.

        In Collège (11-14 years old) we had a “Technologie” class where we learnt how to do various things on computers, from presentations to basic 3D modelling ; all using free software.

        I genuinely think that class was helpful, and we had no computers during any other class.

        I am surprised how many people have responded to me with american grades, which I understand exactly as little 😅 thank you for trying though ! That’s why I asked for the age (which they told me)
