Families are bombarded with messages warning that screens are ruining a generation. But there are ways to engage empathetically and intentionally in a screen-filled culture so that adults and children experience increased well-being both on and offline.
First and foremost, I am a dad to a teenager, learning how to raise a discerning digital native. And as an education technology leader, I also support schools and communities around the world in digital wellness, parenting, screentime and digital citizenship. My hands-on workshops and speaking engagements aim to empower adults and students with mentoring stances that foster healthy relationships between people and with technology.
I am an Apple Distinguished Educator, Google Certified Innovator, and YouTube consultant. An author of books at the intersection of technology and learning, I am currently working on a book of winning screentime strategies for caregivers. You can find me on LinkedIn, email me at Patrick@winningscreentime.com, explore some of my workshops and presentations, and read about a recent school visit here.
