Are Digital Distractions Defeating Instruction in Your School?

According to a 2022 The EdWeek Research Center survey, digital distractions are the #1 obstacle to student performance in digital learning environments — with distracting games at the top of the list. Developed in the 1990s, the internet filtering technology used by most schools wasn't designed to manage dynamic internet content typical of today's web.

The Deledao InstantAI™ technology sees internet content as a human, removing digital distractions and helping teachers keep students on task and on target for academic success.
