As much as our Technology Teacher, Ms. Janet Elias is passionate about teaching children how to use technology, she is even more passionate about teaching her students and parents how to balance their digital lives.
Ms. Elias has participated in for Screen-Free Week, which is an annual event where children, families, schools and communities are encouraged to turn off screens and "turn on life." Instead of relying on television programming for entertainment, participants read, daydream, explore, enjoy nature, and spend time with family and friends. Over 300 million people have taken part in the turnoff, with millions participating each year.
Now she is giving her Wagner students a 3-Day Challenge to unplug from their phones.
