We Have A Choice
It’s time to flip the script. It’s time to become tech-intentional®.
Concerned parents and educators are asked to justify their concerns about the latest Untested 1:1 Devices and Unproven “EdTech” Software. It’s time to stop reacting. It's time to become tech-intentional.
Become Tech Intentional
Being Tech-Intentional® means that we don’t wait to see if EdTech products are stunting our children’s development. We use tech proactively when it aligns with our values and childhood development.
Protect Children Data
We don’t wait to see if EdTech software companies will protect our children’s data. We use software that has proven it protects children's privacy.
Safe Technology Use
We only permit technology to be used once it has been proven to be: safe, effective and legal. In other words, the onus is on the tech companies, not us, to prove that their products contribute meaningfully to childhood, before they are ever used.
