Bring Back Screen-Free Sunday School - Christianity Today
Digital Bible lessons can’t replace teachers passing on the faith.

"But there are several glaring disadvantages to depending solely on video content. Kids can disengage cognitively and socially. It’s easy for them to zone out and become passive recipients of information when watching something onscreen since they do not need to actively engage with the content. A video does not invite children to read a passage, prompt follow-up questions, or challenge them to summarize what they’ve learned."
My concern for Christians who were raised by electronic screens, is that
the people of God is not some abstract group that inhabits the same
social media echo chamber group.
My basic question is not what kids think they can understand or pay attention to.
My concern is that the younger generations of Christians may not know what
a "people" is, and may not have the social skills to meet with the People of God,
and to enjoy the membership in a real People.
