Hi,
We are very appreciative of everyone who has shared our petition. We are meeting with Superintendent Tom Kim tomorrow to understand more about the technology use from the district's point of view. If you haven't filled out our survey yet please share any of your district-related concerns - click here for the survey. We will be sharing what we've learned from you all about Chromebooks at lunch in middle school, how the tech impacts our children's morale and social skills, etc.
Wednesday 6:30-8:30 we will be at Sturdy Shelter for a meet and greet. Stop by to connect with others and hear more about our plans for the summer.
This podcast has an interview with Dr Jared Cooney, a neuroscientist and author of the book The Digital Delusion. There are many other articles and research on the topic of tech in schools here.
We will keep you informed of what comes out of our district conversation. In the meantime, join our facebook group Distraction-Free Batavia. Save the date - the next school board meeting is Tuesday, May 19th at 7PM.
Thanks for your support,
Distraction-Free Batavia
