A prominent piece of literature is making waves in education circles, and it has led to the conversation about how much technology is needed in classrooms. 

Warrensburg-Latham Schools are among a handful of school districts in central Illinois that are reading and analyzing a book called 'The Anxious Generation'. Superintendent Cheryl Warner led a book study with her staff on this book.

According to Warner, the staff who participated in the book study will be distributing the bullet points to fellow teachers and staff. But also, it is bringing up the validity of the one-to-one device utilization in their school.

Warner is surveying her staff about how frequently the available technology is used, but also about how necessary it is to the learning environment.

Additionally, parents of the district will be surveyed because Warner wants to know how necessary the devices are for students who may not have that luxury at home.

Other districts have taken up 'The Anxious Generation' this year, as well as educators, who try to get a grasp of the enormity of not only the anxiety and depression kids are facing, but the impacts of technology on that anxiety and depression.
