Out of Focus: Education in the Age of Digital Distraction and Danger

Thursday October 9, 2025 2:10pm - 3:10pm EDT

Pine Tree

Far too often, kids use tech in ways that distract them. But are we any less guilty? And are they to blame? In this session, we’ll look at how big tech manipulates our students (and us!) and how we can help empower one another to redefine our relationships with our devices. We will discuss ways to refocus our attention on what matters: our amazing students and excellent teachers. And, we will conclude by sharing and crowdsourcing strategies to help build a culture of healthy, mindful tech use in classrooms where our devices work for us -- not the other way around!
