AI, Screens, and the Internet: Keeping our Kids Safe
Can the outdated laws meant to protect children in the digital world keep up with the rapidly advancing technology? Join us as we engage in an enlightening discussion with Kris Perry, a passionate advocate for early childhood safety. Kris shares his unique journey from growing up in a family of educators to becoming a social worker and child abuse investigator. We explore the critical need for updated legislation to safeguard children online, delving into the shortcomings of the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act and the potential impact of new measures like the Kids Online Safety Act. With insights into state-level efforts in New York, California, Maryland, and Vermont, Kris paints a vivid picture of the legal and political hurdles in creating a safer digital environment for our youth. We tackle the complexities of technology's role in childhood development, balancing it with the necessity for healthy practices. From screen time guidelines for the youngest among us to the importance of media literacy in adolescence, Kris and I discuss how to navigate this digital landscape. His background as a child abuse investigator brings a unique perspective on the pervasive data collection practices that threaten children's privacy. Listeners will find valuable strategies for fostering healthier relationships with technology, from delaying personal devices to establishing screen-free zones.

New Research on the Connection Between Literacy and Social and Emotional Learning
How could strengthening Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) impact literacy? And does it? New research shows it does. This conversation, hosted originally as a webinar through EdWeb, covers new research out of CASEL that shows how SEL supports literacy development, along with Teachstone’s evidence of meaningful adult-child interactions in the classroom. This panel of experts will discuss how SEL can boost literacy skills in early childhood and elementary grades and share strategies leaders can use to support educators’ positive impact on their students. Marnetta leads a discussion with Teachstone’s Dr. Bridget Hammer, David Adams of Urban Assembly, and Dr. Carol Lee of Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL).
