Kids, Technology and Screen Time
There is no doubt that technology has reshaped our lives over the last decade or so. Check out any educational research, however, and one will easily learn about the ramifications, mostly negative, when children are exposed to too much unsupervised screen time. Add to this the ability for our children to access sites that are clearly inappropriate and/or cell phone access that often leads to interpersonal texting drama, and one can clearly realize that technology can be a deterament to your child's educational growth and development. This week alone, I've been involved in (4) relatively serious student issues that all stem from outside of school student technology use. Let's all work together in raising awareness about both the good and bad qualities with technology. Please!
Please Note: All Chromebooks issued by our district have multiple layers of security and 'blocking' abilities for inappropriate sites.
