How much technology should kids really be using at school? In this episode of the ScreenStrong Families Podcast, Melanie Hempe and Dr. Stacey explore the growing use of screens, Chromebooks, tablets, educational apps, and AI in schools—and ask the question every parent should be asking: Is technology actually helping our children learn?
You’ll learn why the issue isn’t simply “technology is good or bad,” but what technology is replacing. Are screens replacing books, handwriting, play, movement, teacher interaction, conversation, or creative problem-solving?
Melanie and Dr. Stacey discuss:
Healthy screen time and technology use at school
Why teacher interaction and relationships matter
Technology use and young children
What kids need to learn before AI does the work for them
How parents can ask schools better questions about classroom technology
Practical ways to create a more human-centered learning environment
Technology is a tool—not the foundation. The child is the foundation.
If you're concerned about kids and screens, technology in schools, digital learning, or AI in education, this episode will give you practical insights and questions you can take to your child's school.
