In this edWebinar, we will be sharing and brainstorming interactive exercises and discussions to use with parents of young children to promote a healthy balance of media and technology at home.
This edWebinar will present original ideas for taking advantage of Digital Citizenship Week and discuss media balance, cyberbullying, privacy and much more.
With the proliferation of technology in school and at home, parents are looking for direction on how to keep their kids’ media habits in check. Librarians, who are often at the front lines of media and tech in schools, can provide that crucial guidance. The discussions shouldn’t focus on denying technology, though, said Michelle Cooper, Library Media Specialist, White Oak ISD, TX in the edWebinar “Achieving Media Balance in a Tech-Immersed World.” Instead, librarians can help families learn how to maintain a healthy balance and become good digital citizens.
In this edWebinar, Michelle Cooper, Library Media Specialist at White Oak ISD in Texas, shares tips and strategies to help reduce screen time and increase family time.
