What if we eliminated phones from the classroom? One school in Connecticut did… with overwhelmingly positive results. #KidsBeforeTech wapo.st/3wmcKKC

We have choices in how we design, build & deploy technology, and the right choices are always the ones that support—and don’t endanger—human well-being, literacy and democracy. Grateful for our friends at @HumaneTech_ who share our people-first values. 🫶🏽

When schools go phone free, this is what always seems to happen: Kids spend far more time talking to each other, playing, and laughing. School is more fun, and, as a side benefit, they learn more. Let's make all schools phone free next fall.

A mom to 3 children, MAMA founder @JulieScelfo recently addressed the dangers of screen time, social media, and smartphones with @katiecouric Media. Check it out: katiecouric.com/news/tech/moms…
… and about 23% of these notifications arrive during school hours. This is disruptive and dangerous to mental health. We must get phones out of schools NOW 📵 Get involved at joinmama.org
We call it “social media” but it’s really a form of publishing. And it’s past time to hold social media publishers accountable for the hate and harm they sow — including harming democracy. Want to learn more? Head over to @CCDHate and read their world-class reports.

@lensiseethrough So pleased to have been invited to join this wonderful group.
@SandyChatterbox @gemimsy This is a really shocking statistic.
@lensiseethrough @gemimsy We need to be honest with parents about the impact of using screens, Molly. 1 study found at 3yrs, for EVERY MINUTE of screen time children “heard 6.6 fewer adult words & made 4.9 fewer vocalisations”. The average screen time at 3yrs is almost 3 hrs a day so the impact is huge.
We have choices in how we design, build & deploy technology, and the right choices are always the ones that support—and don’t endanger—human well-being, literacy and democracy. Grateful for our friends at @HumaneTech_ who share our people-first values. 🫶🏽

@cookiesinheaven @cmarinucci Don’t blame any of the owners - the industry was disrupted by the move to digital advertising and the digital oligopoly of Google and Meta. They effectively killed the positive externalities generated by investigative journalism and why @CalMatters is incredibly important.
