All screentime is not equal. There are detrimental uses of screens and beneficial uses of screens. Screens can be used to create, think critically, collaborate, and so much more. It's HOW we use the tools that matter. #textANDtech @ncte.org Book release: Summer 2025 📚💻🌏❤️

I think I may have created a new word: VORTEXT. Definition: when a text or series of texts suck you into a deepening spiral of reading. 🌀📚 #amwriting #thisishowitends

Such #awesomeness to listen to amazing educators during the panel on “Screen Time and Usage: Finding Balance” @21cl.bsky.social !

🔑 KEY takeaways? Prioritize “open and honest” conversations, and build healthy habits.
