Talking to Families About Screen Time in Early Learning: What to Say When Parents Ask (edWeb)

Thu, Oct 22, 4:00 PM at Maine State Library. Admission may apply.

Teachers of young children get asked about screen time constantly. It comes up at pickup, in the hallway, and in the middle of a conference about something else. The advice keeps shifting, and most of it measures screen time by the clock rather than by what's on the screen. What's a teacher with 90 seconds and a worried parent in front of her supposed to say? This edWebinar gives PreK through second-grade educators and the administrators who support them a clear direction for conversations with families about their child's technology use. Our presenters have had these conversations themselves, and they will be specific about what worked, what didn't, and what they would say differently now. Attendees will receive a free family-facing toolkit, Managing Screen Time, Together, plus a resource list and language you can use the same week. This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK through second-grade educators, librarians, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders.
