To be healthy, it is so important to have a healthy community and nowhere is that more important than it is with our children and the kind of environment, the kind of education, the kind of society that we provide to them.

Technology impacts that hugely. It is a powerful tool. And like any powerful tool, it can magnify both the positive and the negative. And that is a difficult thing to navigate for ourselves, let alone how we navigate it for our children.

Our guest today is Matija Krmek. He teaches technology to grade school and junior high school students. In addition, as an instructor for Travel & Learn, a provider of courses for the European Union’s Erasmus Plus program, he teaches educators how to integrate technology into their classrooms.

It’s an episode that is helpful for parents, educators and anyone concerned with navigating the effects of technology, with a wide range of topics: AI, social media, educational tools for kids and at what age they are appropriate, programs for children with learning challenges, support for gifted learners and more.
