Virtual session for parents and guardians: Kids, Tech, and Learning: A Journey Through the Developing Brain    

Friends School of Baltimore is excited to host a special online session for parents and guardians with popular Association of Independent of Maryland and DC Schools (AIMS) presenter, Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath about the effects of tech on learning and the brain.

Kids, Tech, and Learning: A Journey Through the Developing Brain What is going on with teenagers? During this evening session, we will explore the brain, consider how it develops across the lifespan, and consider ways we can support our children during their academic, emotional, and cognitive growth.  From there we will take a look at technology, consider its impact on this developmental process, and consider strategies we can use to improve learning during childhood and adolescence.
