Episode #6 - Screen Time and Summer (Conversation)

from Building Bridges · host Jacob Ruth and Sarah Grosso

In this episode Sarah and Jacob dip into the big and very complex topic of technology use and screen time - at school and at home. The particular episode is really about creating a dialogue with other educators and parents and the community as it relates to confronting the use of screen time with children. Sarah and Jacob discuss a few screen alternative ideas and present the idea of balance/moderation - but really just hope to open up the conversation as it is a topic we will need to think about and work on together as community. Digital Delusion https://www.amazon.com/s?k=digital+delusions&hvadid=693977791607&hvdev=c&hvexpln=67&hvlocphy=9061189&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=16005081344871878043--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=16005081344871878043&hvtargid=kwd-2449284208061&hydadcr=16376_13457181&mcid=9488203ea960372ba40bbf21e912595d&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_8jyuop9r92_e_p67Anxious Generationhttps://www.amazon.com/Anxious-Generation-Rewiring-Childhood-Epidemic/dp/B0C9N2L56X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3NTHS7WTZ4NGZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.AYLrmEEAErPNx2RGaRJxhMRLc_wUEPkXxT1GrBeuLeMKODfzrCgjmdbfuMUy2gmvqT9Ww8oRZZz3gwsNjTlV8e_poyRYvFQ7Hrg8_S27EpVWW0s1sFu5hz2FCOAj0ITlRdUNokL9IsYcl_SchVKPL6q2HfOSV7T8t70Ljw_MNYnR5ijxdk9E_frkFILvgW8nBQFMEkFz4M8srfMc3kCURougSh9ySXRKOpf68-1ylcM.l4GksWUSrW43qVyf26naO-DyMlMnFLDOSfHtYV4VDRw&dib_tag=se&keywords=anxious+generation+book&qid=1781559996&sprefix=Anxious+%2Caps%2C203&sr=8-1Last Child in the Woodshttps://www.amazon.com/Last-Child-Woods-Children-Nature-Deficit/dp/156512605X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3G2XQR6RZ8JZW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.n72xUy-QkKXOORY9D1uN_vPpCv__DN-nLgUo5Eg9LNE2wuESgxio0U41Ts4bFs_96ZoFQKSDQbA66qIPZemmd-aZwbMDYwuZKrAblBPMnwSVJWkYsYRiQ-ZIf-V3iGYzjGTR7CTCxiPhgoIIA3ytYBgejcs-2QE0W4aE7ouE4T54gJkSJZOgkWCTzLdr9Kq7Ii-oPYZTQRJuyAYJG3hBt1LX9Ip3uVGi_r8cLZCymMg.FvD-Ded7gKmdgjYcWzvZ7w2CYBxmG6tjYAoSHAHIzOM&dib_tag=se&keywords=Last+Child+in+the+Woods&qid=1781560032&s=audible&sprefix=last+child+in+the+wood%2Caudible%2C171&sr=1-1-catcorrSummer Unplugged Articlehttps://www.gse.harvard.edu/ideas/edcast/24/04/summer-unpluggedUnplugged - Children's Bookhttps://www.amazon.com/Unplugged-Steve-Antony/dp/1444934163/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3E47EHZWKGDIN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.tkIlPRz4UV8pT_y_kgsvcXdH0fUaFEpjjtUzbb7jFvTmb5FrNuaHGKqfqS4J3cwZcX1OvTyr6QMPq2WfD6pzb6y1wmbp657HqNGNKG02fDm3LXHGSLaXm769wLbLs7xx8wQXK-kjeWN-mW9Ln-oGtsjUd-ANmbS-V7INhwxUsHmhY8yCEZWWa2Is_L1PLoffwH2K3TpZECRTwBQi3tJLDmQrDoWXdxMhDiy0i5oJVP0.mcImG2p1q5NZcuUTw1Jxv66TAjvc6Uke28zo5rl1EKo&dib_tag=se&keywords=unplugged+children%27s+book&qid=1781560141&sprefix=unplugged+children%27s+book%2Caps%2C298&sr=8-1
