“I was scrolling on TikTok, and to be even more honest, when you walk away, I'm going to go back on my phone,” said one student at Monomoy Regional High School this spring, when she was supposed to be working on a project with a friend in a group study area.

Those platforms existed before, but students didn’t use them as extensively as they do now. “They communicate through social media apps. Kids don't really even text,” she said. Even before the pandemic, many adults thought students’ phone use was too much. Then came remote school, extra screen time, and the burst in popularity of social video platform TikTok. The pandemic accelerated young people’s immersion in technology, for both learning and socializing.
