We are all users of technology, but this month, we’re asking a big question: What does it really mean to thrive with technology? Educators and students alike are surrounded by tech every day, but the line between using it with purpose and feeling consumed by it isn’t always clear.
In this episode, Beck Tench from the Harvard Center for Digital Thriving and Holly Kelly, Human-Centered Tech Specialist for the LTC, join us to explore what it means to take control of our digital lives. We’ll dive into critical optimism—how to embrace what technology offers while remaining mindful of its challenges—and how schools can create spaces where both students and educators feel empowered in their tech use.
Whether you are feeling burnt out by constant scrolling or trying to navigate tech use in your classroom, tune in to how you can move towards thriving.
