How do we protect our children from the risks that unregulated education technology may pose to our children’s privacy, health, and well-being during critical stages of their physical, neurological and social development? When are EdTech tools effective and how can we stem their overuse in order to optimize student learning and engagement? What are the best strategies for ensuring that all students have equitable access and sufficient media literacy skills?
Children and Screens’ #AskTheExperts webinar “School for Thought: EdTech and Virtual Learning – What Now?” was held on September 21, 2022, at 12pm. The webinar examined the growing role and impacts of educational technology and virtual learning in schools, homes and families, and built on dialogue from Children and Screens’ groundbreaking May 2022 research retreat to address parents’ most critical questions about educational technology.
