Round Table Discussion: Visual distractions from deep learning?

Some researchers believe that visual technologies in classrooms are simply
for entertainment, providing a light interlude between lessons designed
to achieve deep learning, and might even distract from the serious business
of schools. In contrast, some experienced practitioners believe that deep
learning today cannot take place without the use of technologies to support
visual learning. How best can we reconcile these two points of view?
