Screens In Schools: The State of Play

How do we use digital devices effectively in the classroom, how do we manage risks, and what skills do school leavers need to work in the IT industry?

We are excited to present this seminar 'Screens in schools: the state of play', on August the 3rd, 7.15pm at Epsom Community Hall in Auckland. Please email to register for a seat as spaces are limited, info@sensiblescreenuse.org.

Four speakers will bring together different industries and backgrounds to bring you up to date with the latest research and knowledge:
