MORE DECKS TO EXPLORE
PRESENTATION OUTLINE
"The iPad has always given us the opportunity to do so much more than consume information giving us opportunities instead to use our creativity to express our learning, to test our learning, to share and publish what we do." -Mark Anderson, ictevangelist.com

But what about screen time?
How much is TOO much?
Screen time is a reality of modern childhood, with kids of every age spending hours upon hours in front of iPads, smartphones and televisions. This has led many parents to ask the question...How much is too much?
Studies have shown that excessive time interacting with screens can cause significant changes in the brain. I personally wonder what it's doing to our eyes.

VALUE
THE WORTH VERSUS THE RISK
I guess we have to decide what the value of all that screen time really is! What do we gain despite some losses? A whole new way of thinking & learning? Creating & collaborating? Reaching people all over the world while helping those in our own backyard?
I think we still have a lot to learn...and not a lot of time in a world that's changing every single minute!
