Tech Tip for Middle School Parents: Managing AI Tools and Screen Time
As AI tools become more integrated into education, it’s important for parents to guide their middle schoolers in using them responsibly.
A helpful tech tip is: Set boundaries and encourage critical thinking – While AI tools (like homework assistants or research generators) can be great learning aids, it’s essential to ensure your child uses them ethically and not as a shortcut for doing their own work. Encourage your child to use AI for brainstorming, learning concepts, or enhancing creativity, but remind them to always understand and verify the information before using it. Set limits on screen time to prevent over-reliance on AI, helping your child balance technology with other activities.
