Overview

Part of The Educator Retention & Wellbeing Series A Systems Intelligence Approach to K-12 EducationDigital tools are often introduced into schools under the promise of efficiency, innovation, and progress. Yet many educators feel more overwhelmed, fragmented, and exhausted than ever. Digital Isn't Neutral examines the hidden cognitive cost of modern educational technology and how unexamined digital systems quietly reshape teaching, learning, and wellbeing in K-12 environments. This book does not argue against technology. Instead, it reframes digital tools as cognitive environments that place real demands on attention, decision-making, emotional regulation, and instructional focus. Through realistic classroom scenarios and systems-level analysis, it explains why capable, committed teachers can feel perpetually behind even when nothing is technically ""wrong."" Readers will explore how digital load is created, why constant platform changes prevent mastery, how teachers become unpaid system integrators, and how new learning gaps emerge when tools outpace human capacity. The book offers a Systems Intelligence lens for evaluating technology adoption, emphasizing sustainability, consolidation, and human-centered design. Written for educators, instructional leaders, and decision-makers, Digital Isn't Neutral provides clarity, language, and structure for conversations schools urgently need to have about technology, cognition, and long-term resilience. This is Book 4 in The Educator Retention and Wellbeing Series, examining how system pressures accumulate and why innovation that exhausts educators is not progress.
