I found a great value in Jesse Miller’s presentation about technology, youth and education. He made many good points, for me as a future educator and as a parent. I thought his point about teaching youths to put their phones down and harness their focus, similar to how athletics does with them, to help them see their is more to life than social media and technology. He also values the sharing screen time with youths to see what they are up to and keep the positive lines of communication open with them. He emphasized that we must rethink education as it applies to communications and also was helpful in presenting a warning to new educators to be aware of your digital footprint.
