It's time to reprogram the way we're talking about screen time in our homes and education settings. Annie Friday is joined this week by Ash Brandin, also known as The Gamer Educator. Ash brings a practical approach to conversations about screens knowing this nuanced topic is more than just about screens are bad or good. This episode touches on the role that screens actually play in our lives. Screen time and digital supports are tools of the culture that aren't going away. It's important to guide our young people into responsible digital citizenship as we examine that same responsibility for ourselves as well. Ash share three guiding principles that drive their work which are: 1) screens fill systemic gaps; 2) screens can benefit the whole family; and 3) screens can be a functional part of our lives.
