How to Create a Tech-Ready Home: Embracing the Tension between Careful, Countercultural, and Confident (Parents and Caring Adults Only)
Although it’s not possible to create an internet-safe home, it is possible to create one that is internet SAFER. After well over a thousand presentations to parents, grandparents, and caregivers just like you, and countless conversations, we’ve observed what it takes to have kids learn to use technology well. And we call it the PYE Core Values. This presentation breaks down these 5 foundational ideas.
• Do you know what’s better than any parental control?
• Do you know why your router is the most important digital device in your home?
• Do you understand the toxic trio?
• Do you know why TikTok is so intoxicating to young brains?
• Get ready for a ton of practical tips, solutions, and ideas you can implement.
Today Mark Lyons from REMC visited Mr. Felsing's 8th grade skills/careers class and talked about new innovative jobs that involve coding and drone work. Drones are now being used to inspect large buildings, deice parking lots, spray farmers fields, search and rescue, cattle herding, and much more! Students worked on coding drones and navigating them through a few courses.
