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.

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.
