Dear Principal,
Earlier this week I read a funny news article about an Elephant entering a house in Thailand. The family shared this picture:
When I saw this picture all I could think of was how "screen-time" entered our lives in March 2020 and is now comfortably sitting in the center of our day, everyday.
____________
I was in a panel discussion last week and I was asked about "good screen time." One thing led to another, and vola we now have a full fledged webinar on this. Take a look --
On July 1, I am in conversation with these two fine people:
- Mr. Roshan Gandhi, CEO of the City Montessori School Group
- Ms. Aditi Mehta, Academic director for Freadom app and live class
We're speaking on these broad topics:
- What is "good" and what is "bad"screen-time?
- What should we allow? What should we say "no" to?
I invite you and your senior teachers to join us. The webinar has limited seats and this email goes to 25,000 schools - so please register early. This is the registration link - click here.
[Note: the webinar is not for parents.]
