Tech Teens Parent Presentation

10/17/2019

0 Comments

 
Last night I did a presentation at the PGSS parent-teacher night on Technology and Teens.  This was a version of the previous presentation Michelle Scott, Steve Bordeleau and I did for PGSS staff earlier in the year.

The intention is to keep the conversation going and include parents as we examine the impact and effects technology is having on today's teenagers.

You can view a pdf version of the presentation by clicking on the link below.

One of the biggest things we are finding as we dig in a bit deeper into the research of technology and adolescent brain development is the impact of sleep.  It seems that many of the negative effects we associate with technology really have sleep deprivation at their core.

For more on Sleep watch the great TedTalk below.

An awesome podcast episode from Outside magazine with author David Epstein that discusses specialization and how generalization can promote higher achievement and greater learning.  

The conversation is framed around sport but explores so much more and is a great listen for teachers, coaches and parents.

September 27th we introduced the Indigenous Big Map of Canada resource to teachers and UNBC teacher candidates.  The "Big Map" is an amazing resource and comes with a number of prep made lessons from Canadian Geographic.  Teachers and teacher candidates had a chance to explore the resources, interact with the map and collaborate on potential educational uses. 

Click here for digital copies of the Canadian Geographic lessons 

If you or your school is interested in booking the map for your school you can find information below.

Also below you will find a document with ideas for using the map provided by the UNBC teacher candidates came up with after a debrief of the afternoon.

Tech Teens Presentation

On the September 27th non-instructional day myself, Michelle Scott and Steven Bordeleau presented to some of the PGSS staff on the impact technology is having on the kids in our classrooms. 

The intent was to highlight how technology has advanced and evolved in recent years and present the most current research on adolescent technology use and its effects on social and emotional development.  We are hoping this presentation promotes discussion and encourages teachers to take a critical look at the role technology has in the school setting.
