When schools hand children Chromebooks, iPads, Google accounts, and Microsoft Teams access, what’s really happening behind the screen?
In this eye-opening conversation, Titania Jordan joins Nicki Petrossi to reveal alarming new data from Bark Technologies’s monitoring of school-issued technology used by millions of students across the U.S.
The findings are staggering:
12% of children encountered cyberbullying
3.74% encountered instances of depression
7.46% encountered discussion or content related to suicidal ideation, imminent suicide or self-harm
39.83% of students encountered violent content
22% were exposed to drug-related content
10.77% encountered sexual content
11.64% encountered medically-concerning content
2.69% encountered hate speech
0.23% encountered body image content
1.79% encountered anxiety-related content
They discuss how students are using Google Docs like disappearing-message apps, why schools are struggling to keep up, and what parents can do right now to better protect their children.
This episode is a wake-up call for parents, educators, school administrators, and policymakers about the unintended consequences of putting addictive, poorly protected technology into children’s hands.
