This session was very well balanced on the issue of technology use on child development. This information will be so helpful to pass on to our classroom parents. Jana was able to talk about how useful technology is in our lives but also cite valid research on the effects on our brains. -Jessica Wright
What a Montessori approach to presenting this information! Starting with how to evaluate research as a critical thinker, continuing with looking into ourselves first for technology boundaries. Very well done, so valuable. -Erin Mergil

It is quite difficult to find balance between allowing screen time versus zero screen time, in the classroom as well as in a home setting. This workshop was exceptionally well researched. Jana conveys this information is a conversational way, which made the information easy to digest. -Moraiah Luna
