Joshua’s individual Technology project titled ‘How does Technology effect Humans’ concentration?’ came about as a result based on his own experience of online learning last year and the effect working from home had on his relatives.

Joshua, while talking about his project says ‘I am getting students to take a 40-minute Maths quiz, go on computer games, then take another 40-minute Maths quiz.’
