The emergence of communication field of digital disconnection could offer novel approaches to understanding the relationship between education and technology. Our hypothesis is that takes disconnection literature could reveal reasons to argue for disconnecting from digital media in childhood and education. This could e.g., be mandated by findings in domains where warning systems have proven raised based on the of heightened health risks, cyberbullying, loneliness, exposure to online porn, distraction, manipulative features that online services etc. The aim of the article is to bring discussions from disconnection studies to the field of information- and hence technology (ICT) in education.
