Technology promised to transform learning. But as screens have steadily crept into nearly every aspect of education, many parents and educators are asking whether EdTech has gone too far – and how they can push for less screen use in the classroom. Emily Cherkin, M.Ed., a former teacher and nationally recognized speaker known as The Screentime Consultant, joins us for a timely ParentMap Talks conversation to help parents take a closer look at technology’s role in their children’s education.

You’ll learn:

  • What every parent should know about EdTech today
  • How communities are already redefining screen use in schools
  • The steps to opt out your child from classroom tech
  • Ways to promote screen-free learning at home
