About
Tomorrow's Student has been created to provide schools with a tool that aims to reduce the dangers of social media and improve students’ focus, productivity, sleep and personal interactions.
The effective use of smart devices within schools is an essential skill for children to learn and necessary for parental contact and safety, but at what point does casual use become an addiction? What are the detrimental effects on students?
Tomorrow’s Student offers schools a Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile App Management (MAM) solution enabling them to control what pupils can access via their smart devices, including the ability to disable the camera and browser functions.
THE PROBLEM
Tomorrow’s Student has taken the view that the extreme use of mobile devices in schools affects not only a child’s ability to learn and focus, but also their ability to develop the skills necessary to build meaningful relationships and work towards long-term goals and achievements.
Effects of Social Media
Communication
Children are increasingly unable to communicate and express themselves properly in real life.
Lazy
Social media can promote feelings of entitlement, narcissism, laziness and insecurity in children.
Susceptibility
No self-regulation and susceptibility to peer pressure makes adolescents vulnerable to addictive behaviour.
Coping Mechanisms
Children are becoming less able to deal with stress, solve problems and build relationships, trust and loyalty.
"Friends"
Parents typically have no awareness of their child’s hundreds of online contacts.
Instant Gratification
The need for desires to be met immediately damages the individual’s ability to work towards long-term goals.
Gender Neutral
Body image disturbance and disordered eating is exacerbated by social media and affects boys and girls.
Hidden Memes
Social memes such as ‘clean eating’ are becoming a cover for dieting and deprivation.
Fame
Studies show that children’s #1 ambition is now to achieve fame.
Driving
Texting whilst driving is now the #1 cause of death in teenagers in the US.
HEALTH & WELLBEING
It is well documented that looking at the manicured lives of friends on social media can actually cause depression in individuals, leading to...
Increased Isolation
Studies show that heavy users of social media and the internet are increasingly likely to suffer from feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Rise in Suicide Rates
Statistics show a dramatic rise in suicide rates amongst centennials and millennials; some academics attribute this to social media and internet use.
Interaction and Morale
Real life relationships are suffering as children no longer take as much time to interact with each other in the real world.
Productivity
Studies show that even though a child may only look at their device for a few minutes, it is the amount of time that it takes them to get back on task after such an interaction that can be even more detrimental.
Neuroscience
The areas of the brain that encourage introspection and, in turn, develop empathy and understanding, are only active when a person is totally undistracted. By being constantly engaged with their devices or thinking about their next post, we are in danger of developing a generation that cares less about others.
