This attitude also slows down the use of digital media in school. And this despite the fact that new technologies can noticeably improve teaching. In addition, children and young people must also learn how to use the new media consciously. Why are the reservations about digitalization so strong in Germany? Under what conditions could this change? How effective is digitally supported learning really?
