Just listen to the teachers, parents, and students. In high school I was among the last year groups to be pen and paper. All the younger students had laptops and iPads. I distinctly remember during the change that very few people thought it was a good idea, except for those students who got a free laptop or iPad out of it. I imagine the change was mostly brought about by administrators and politicians.

They are a specific type of “influencer”. People who claim the crown of “innovation” simply by jumping on the hype train of whatever the new hot thing is. Many companies are falling into this trap with AI right now. They use FOMO to get leaders with weak wills and a lack of vision to jump on the hype train, forcing everyone else along for the ride.

In the meantime psychology is... err... What actually are psychology peoples doing ?? Do not see anything good or useful. You know, popularizing BASIC knowledge helps many, including future thing in discussion practicioners... Or psycho peoples are limiting themselves to just making money ?
Please, just listen to the teachers. They probably know best how to teach.
