    The False Promise of Tech and AI in Schools with Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, MEd

    Has the widespread use of "educational" technology and AI in schools led to declines in children’s learning outcomes and skill development, rather than promised improvements? In this episode of Screen Deep, host Kris Perry is joined by author, educator, and neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath to discuss this and his updated book The Digital Delusion. Dr. Horvath outlines how the implementation of digital technologies in education has benefited corporations, not students or teachers. He explains the dangers of eliminating necessary cognitive “struggle” and offloading critical skill development in the name of efficiency. Tune in for insights on how the onslaught of AI in schools has intensified problematic trends in the edtech space, and what strategies teachers and parents can use to counteract these issues and help their children to better understand the necessarily messy process of learning. In this episode, you will learn: Why widespread tech adoption in schools has worsened – not improved – learningWhich essential parts of teaching and learning are displaced by educational tech useWhy tools like AI that boost efficiency for experts hinder learning for novices How expecting children to use the same devices for school and learning that they use for entertainment is a losing battleWhat it means to take a “pro-learning” approach to tech in schools Why teachers need parents to help push back against tech use in schools For more resources and research on this topic visit the Learn and Explore section of the Children and Screens website (https://www.childrenandscreens.org) -------------- Follow Children and Screens on:  Facebook: Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development Instagram: @childrenandscreens LinkedIn: Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development X: @childrenscreens Bluesky: @childrenandscreens.bsky.social --------------- Music: 'Life in Silico' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au

    The Costs of Using Devices to Calm Children with Peter Reschke, PhD

    The usage of phones and tablets to help calm infants and young children in difficult moments is often effective in the moment – yet how is the development of self-calming skills affected by this common parenting practice long-term? On this episode of Screen Deep, host Kris Perry is joined by Dr. Peter Reschke, Associate Professor of Human Development at Brigham Young University and expert on early emotion and social development. Dr. Reschke details how babies and young children develop an understanding of emotions, why infant-caregiver interactions are critical for development, and shares recent research on how regularly using media at early ages to cope with negative emotions can affect later behavior and problematic media use. In this episode, you will learn: The powerful role parents play in helping infants and young children develop the skills to recognize, express, and regulate emotionsWhy watching media together (known as  “co-viewing”) with young children can positively impact emotional development (and why solo media use may be disruptive) What the research says about giving phones and tablets to calm children  (and healthier ways to help them cope with difficult emotions)How regular use of media or devices for emotion regulation in early childhood predicts problematic media use in later childhoodHow an infant's nervous system reacts physiologically when parents are digitally distracted, according to research For more resources and research on this topic visit the Learn and Explore section of the Children and Screens website (https://www.childrenandscreens.org) -------------- Follow Children and Screens on:  Facebook: Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development Instagram: @childrenandscreens LinkedIn: Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development X: @childrenscreens Bluesky: @childrenandscreens.bsky.social --------------- Music: 'Life in Silico' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au

    The Science of Raising Humans in the Age of AI with Dana Suskind, MD

    The rise of AI is often presented as an opportunity to make parenting easier, but what happens when technology begins to replace, rather than support, the human interactions children need most?  On this episode of Screen Deep, host Kris Perry dives into this timely question with Dr. Dana Suskind, Founder and Co-Director of the TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health and author of the book, Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity, and Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI. Dr. Suskind highlights the importance of back-and-forth human interactions in early development, and shares which AI trends parents should be most wary of. She provides guidance for evaluating the use of AI tools, including using it to enhance, not replace, parenting.  In this episode, you will learn: Which essential “human” parts of parenting cannot be offloaded onto AIWhy AI can be integrated as a parenting “copilot” – but never the pilotFive risky AI behaviors to watch for in parenting or child use of AIFour value principles you can use as a framework for making intentional choices about AIThe human skills parents should help their children develop to flourish in the AI ageHow to evaluate AI tools for use in family life For more resources and research on this topic visit the Learn and Explore section of the Children and Screens website (https://www.childrenandscreens.org) -------------- Follow Children and Screens on:  Facebook: Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development Instagram: @childrenandscreens LinkedIn: Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development X: @childrenscreens Bluesky: @childrenandscreens.bsky.social --------------- Music: 'Life in Silico' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au

    What Matters for Young Children's Healthy Digital Media Use and Learning? With Rachel Barr, PhD

    For decades, researchers have studied why babies and young children learn differently from screens than they do from real-world experiences. On this episode of Screen Deep, host Kris Perry is joined by Dr. Rachel Barr, Professor of Psychology at Georgetown University and a leading expert in early childhood and digital media. Dr. Barr describes why it’s difficult for young children to learn from digital media, a concept called the “video transfer deficit effect,” and explains which specific features of high quality media paired with parenting practices can support learning and development. Dr. Barr also describes why video chatting is often an exception to screen time guidelines, how family media plans can help family relationships, and the importance of considering children’s environments holistically when studying how they interact with and are impacted by digital media. In this episode, you will learn: Why it can be difficult for young children to learn from digital media and how researchers discovered the “transfer deficit effect” How parental guidance and educational app design can make learning from media easier for childrenWhat features to look for in educational shows and apps One expert-recommended app for young children and what makes it stand out Why thinking more expansively beyond “screen time” is essential for evaluating your child’s media useHow parents’ own media use — and how they talk about it with their children — can shape family relationships For more resources and research on this topic visit the Learn and Explore section of the Children and Screens website (https://www.childrenandscreens.org) -------------- Follow Children and Screens on:  Facebook: Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development Instagram: @childrenandscreens LinkedIn: Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development X: @childrenscreens Bluesky: @childrenandscreens.bsky.social --------------- Music: 'Life in Silico' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au

    Making Social Media Safer: How Lawsuits Are Changing the Game with Matt Bergman

    As courts increasingly examine the impact of social media on young people, new legal approaches are beginning to reshape how responsibility for harms are understood, shifting the focus from content to platform design. On this special episode of Screen Deep, host Kris Perry speaks with Matthew Bergman, founding attorney of the Social Media Victims Law Center, professor of Lewis & Clark Law School, and a member of Children and Screens’ Scientific Advisory Board. Bergman also served on the legal team representing the plaintiff in a landmark case examining the impact  of social media platform design on youth. Together, Kris and Matt explore why it has historically been difficult to bring lawsuits against technology companies, how recent litigation strategies are more effective than past efforts, and what these developments could mean for the future of platform accountability. In this episode, you will learn: Why social media companies have historically avoided accountability for harm encountered through their products, and how that may be changing How recent lawsuits have uncovered key internal evidence that social media platforms were designed to be addictive to young users despite known risks How legal experts are using scientific research and product liability law to help define harms to youth and establish social media platform accountabilityWhy recent lawsuits are focusing on social media platform design rather than content, and why that matters Why legislative change is needed to assist the effort to enforce social media platform transparency and accountability For more resources and research on this topic visit the Learn and Explore section of the Children and Screens website (https://www.childrenandscreens.org) -------------- Follow Children and Screens on:  Facebook: Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development Instagram: @childrenandscreens LinkedIn: Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development X: @childrenscreens Bluesky: @childrenandscreens.bsky.social --------------- Music: 'Life in Silico' by Scott Buckley - released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au
