Most K-12 conversations about technology start with the same question: how much screen time are students getting? It's an understandable question, especially with test scores and screen time trending in opposite directions in some places. But it's also the wrong one to lead with.
Jamf's ebook, Screen Time Alone Is the Wrong Question: Turn Screen Time Into Screen Value, lays out why the quality of device use matters more than the quantity, and gives K-12 IT and district leaders a practical framework for building — and proving — screen value across their schools.

- A practical framework schools can use to build screen value, covering classroom focus, seamless access, content safety and family partnership
- How educators, families and technology work together to drive student success, and what happens when one of the three is missing
