Each talk is shaped to the room: schools and educators, parents and PTAs, or community groups. Below is the working list. If your situation doesn’t fit one of these neatly, write anyway and we’ll shape something that does.
Schools booking presentations, parent nights, or professional development days. Parent groups and PTAs wanting a calm, useful conversation about phones and platforms. Community groups and organizations that want a clear, calm conversation about kids, screens, and online safety.
Dopamine is the brain's reward chemical, and it fires every time kids go online. We connect the research on screen time to real outcomes (sleep, anxiety, depression, even early myopia) and show how dopamine, screens, and school success interact in a growing adolescent brain.
The adolescent brain isn't fully formed until 25, so kids hit enter, pile on, or take risks without weighing the cost. We cover swatting, doxxing, bullying, and online gaming dangers, and walk through the most common apps kids actually use.
A close look at online gaming: how it hooks the developing brain, where the real dangers are, and how to set limits that actually hold.
Executive function is the mix of sensory, motor, cognitive, and communication skills kids need to grow into capable adults, and screens are eroding them. Participants go deeper on these skills and leave with concrete reasons to teach them, by age.
Ronna is a trained ScreenStrong ambassador and an editor for this course. ScreenStrong isn't anti-screen: it's using screens as a tool while steering kids away from the addictive stuff like gaming and social media. A two-part course with games, puzzles, and checks for understanding you can use right away.
An overview of artificial intelligence and its possible impact on the future of education. Teachers won't be replaced by robots anytime soon. We cover Essay Bot, supervised versus unsupervised learning, cloud learning, blockchain, and how AI may shape both student learning and teaching.
A three-part book talk working through Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation and what it means for the kids in your home, classroom, and community.
A plain-language guide to the apps where risk actually lives: what they do, why kids use them, and what the adults around them should watch for.
How screens interact with the developing brain, and what that means for attention, mood, and behavior at home and at school.
What these schemes look like, why they are spreading so fast among teens, and the steps families and schools can take before and after one happens.
Practical strategies for the adults raising and teaching kids surrounded by screens, built for parents and educators alike.
