Check it out! FREE opportunity to learn how to keep our children safe in the digital world that we live in.
On Thursday, May 16th, Holly Kelly, with The Learning Technology Center of Illinois, will host two virtual sessions for guardians:
"Navigating the Digital Seas our Students & Children Explore"
Our students and children are sailing through pretty choppy waters in the digital seas. Amid digital learning and consumption rigors, many young people are under unprecedented mental pressure. Even the typical challenges of youth and adolescence are magnified online, making it much harder to find a safe harbor.
How can we effectively address some of these stressors? What role can technology play in supplying that relief? How do we help our children thrive digitally and keep them safe online?
Join us as we chart technology's profound impact on today's students and their developing brains. On this voyage, we'll explore what and how digital media, social media, computer literacy, and AI intersect with today's youth's daily lives. Along the way, we'll uncover how to empower our children in their digital and oxygenated lives.
Sessions are not recorded.
