Screen Time during a Pandemic - Webinar from Harvard - Oct. 28 3pm EST | information analyst | Scoop.it
The good old days when families worried "only” about too much TV, Fortnite, or social media have now been replaced by a new world of screen-time concerns: Is it safe for our children to be on screens all day? What do we do about Zoom fatigue and disengagement from online curricula? How can digital learning be rich and meaningful?

As we face this challenging year, educators and families are having to build new norms around technology, digital media, online learning, and recreational screen time. In the middle of a pandemic, we need to ask, what are the values and practices that will help us today? What are the new possibilities for learning — and how can families and educators help create safe, stimulating, equitable, and meaningful learning experiences on screen — and off?

Join us for this action-oriented webinar as we gain new inspiration about how to embrace the benefits of digital learning and connection online, while reducing the harms of technological overload or disconnection.
