As a teacher I'm no of this at all. Having the option to let the students do research on their own devices is one of the things that really helps and also is close to their day to day life. Also them having tablets for taking notes makes giving out worksheets so much easier. No longer throwing around hundreds of pages of paper per day.

It also gives us as teachers the opportunity to teach students how to perform online research responsibly, how to check for sources, and to question their credibility. Left to their own devices, it's really easy to get swept up in rage-bait propaganda. It's extra work for us, but important for society.
