The Edtech Minute

Recently I hosted two parent digital citizenship events where I gave a presentation called Hold the Phone: tips for managing teens with smartphones. This presentation focused on helping our kids navigate their digital lives by:

  • protecting our kids' (and our own) privacy online
  • empowering ourselves with knowledge about the social media apps and sites our kids use
  • understanding what's hiding in our phone settings
  • setting realistic and reasonable expectations for device usage
