The Catholic Schools Office is offering a morning webinar on Children’s use of Cell Phone and Smart Watches:
From the CSO,
Join us on January 16 at 7am and learn if smart watches are a safer digital alternative for young children. When children have access to smart technologies, how can we help them learn to use the devices in a safe and healthy way? This webinar will present parents and educators with research-based ways that help children learn how to use smart watches and cell phones so that we maximize their mental and physical health and promote learning.
