It’s time to talk about EdTech: What It Is, Why It’s Dangerous, and What You Can Do About It
Join Emily for a FREE WEBINAR on Monday, March 9, 2026 @ 5 pm PST/8 pm EST
It’s time to talk about EdTech.
Schools are handing children as young as five years old iPads and Chromebooks, gamified learning apps, and now AI tutors and chatbots in the name of education. But these unproven, untested, and unsafe products pose serious risks to children, education, and democracy.
Join Emily for a FREE webinar on Monday, March 9, 2026, at 5 pm PST/8 pm EST. Registration required.
This webinar will cover:
What EdTech is (and what it’s not)
Why EdTech isn’t actually improving learning outcomes
The risks and harms posed by EdTech
Actionable steps you can take
This is not about being anti-technology; it’s about aligning any technology used by children with the science of learning, child development, safety, and the law. Emily will guide you through what you need to know about EdTech and what you can do to address it. You will leave feeling informed, empowered, and motivated to make changes to protect children, education, and democracy.
