'Screenagers'
Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 6 years, 11 months AGO
In today’s digital world, some parents struggle to manage their children’s use of smartphones, personal electronic devices and computers.
To better make sense of technology and the impact it has on developing minds, the Coeur d’Alene School District is screening “Screenagers,” a documentary that offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance in life.
“Lots of kids go home and use technology unsupervised and parents are unsure of what to do about it,” said Seth Deniston, director of technology for the district. “More than anything, this film provides a starting place for those discussions. It behooves us to talk about it. The film provides a balanced look at teenagers and technology.”
Tickets are free, but people must RSVP at /www.cdaschools.org
A short discussion will follow the film.
