NYSUT will be holding a series of regional Disconnected conferences to explore the impact of cellphones, social media and technology on children, schools and learning.
In an era where digital devices are everywhere, understanding the implications of technology on students' lives has never been more crucial. During the conferences, we will discuss:
- The impact of mobile devices on children – examining the consequences of excessive screen time and smartphone usage on mental health and emotional well-being.
- Strategies for parents, educators and students for managing children’s technology use and supporting healthy habits.
- Digital citizenship – fostering healthy, responsible and ethical use of technology among young learners.
- Balancing technology and traditional learning methods.
- Cellphone policies and practices that have worked for schools and districts.
Please join us at an event near you and be part of this important conversation. All NYSUT members are welcome to attend these events.
