creen time gets more bad press than a Hollywood star in rehab. But the fact is, not all screen time is the same. Screen time is like food: Some of it’s bad for you and some of it’s good for you, and moderation is key.
As a tech educator and mom, I think it’s important to understand the role we want technology to play in our kids’ lives. One good place to start is by reviewing the ISTE Standards for Students, which offer clear guidelines for how students should related to digital media.
Students need to be:
Empowered learners who leverage technology to take an active role in choosing, achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals.
Digital citizens who recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world.
Knowledge constructors who critically curate resources using digital tools.
Innovative designers who use technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating imaginative solutions.
Computational thinkers who employ strategies for solving problems in ways that leverage technological methods to develop and test solutions.
Creative communicators who communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles and digital media appropriate to their goals.
Global collaborators who use digital tools to broaden their perspectives and enrich their learning by collaborating with others and working effectively in teams locally and globally.
