Note sull'episodio
What happens when a school superintendent who once championed classroom technology starts to wonder if schools have gone too far?
Bryan Easter has spent more than 20 years in education, and he’s watched technology transform the classroom from the inside. In this episode, Bryan shares why he changed his mind about screen time in schools, what hours on Chromebooks and other devices may be costing students, and why he believes it’s time to bring the pendulum back toward the middle.
We talk about how COVID accelerated one-to-one technology in schools, Bryan’s own 75-day experiment with a flip phone, the effects of screen time on kids, and what parents can do to better understand how technology is being used in their child’s classroom. Bryan also shares the grassroots effort he’s leading to influence education policy in California.
And ultimately, we get into the bigger question behind Christians Doing Stuff: how Bryan’s Christian faith shapes the way he approaches education, leadership, relationships, and the work he believes God has given him to do.
