Past Seminars
Technology & Social Media
If you missed our Partnering with Parents event focused on technology and social media, please take the time to view this valuable recording of the program. The world of technology is ever-evolving, and the children we are parenting and educating are being brought up in a digital age. Director of Instructional Technology Warren Bezuidenhout, Ed.D offered information about how to navigate the world of technology with your child and family.
During his presentation, Dr. Bezuidenhout addressed the following questions:
- How much do or should teenagers use technology?
- What apps should I know more about?
- Should I secure my home internet to protect my child?
- How do I talk to my child about their phone use?
- Is technology/social media affecting my child’s mental health?
Please join us for future Partnering with Parents events. Attending allows you to engage with the speaker and receive handouts with helpful information.
