In this episode, I dive into the critical topic of educational technology and how it’s impacting our kids’ brains and learning.

You're invited to join me as I share insights from neuroscientist Dr. Jared Horvath, who warns that screen-based learning doesn’t activate the same brain systems as hands-on, real-world experiences.

While useful in moderation, we will reflect on how technology can easily become overused, crowding out the deeper learning that comes through conversation, reflection, and relationship.

If we want our kids to become curious, creative, and capable thinkers, we must stay intentionally involved and not rely on EdTech to become their teachers.

This episode is your encouragement to use tech wisely and keep real connection at the heart of your homeschool.
