State Representative & Education Committee Chair Jennifer Leeper joins Lisa Wexler to discuss Connecticut’s screen policy guidelines, designed to provide best practices for student technology use in schools. They preview an important free webinar featuring Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, author of The Digital Delusion. Dr. Horvath examines how the widespread use of laptops, tablets, and classroom software may be undermining how children learn and develop. Drawing on decades of research, he offers practical tools for families to reassess device use at home, equips educators to rebuild attention-rich learning environments, and helps schools make smarter, evidence-based decisions about technology. In challenging the core assumptions of the EdTech movement, Horvath lays out a clear path to putting people—not programs—back at the center of education.
