On Nov.4th, while attending my first Ottawa EdCamp, I walked into a “Twitter” session and received this advice:<\/p>\n

How might we use technology\u00a0in a more efficient way to reduce screen time and maximize output?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

My school is showing Screenagers<\/a> this week, a documentary about growing up in a digital world. The physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston learned that the average kid spends 6.5 hours a day looking at screens and this documentary showcases how students view their technology use.
