Teachers & health professionals
it's time to face the issues head-on.
Keeping your head above the rising tide of online risks facing today’s primary and secondary students is one of the biggest challenges (and most time-consuming tasks) you face as a teacher, or health professional
Just when you think you’ve got a handle on your students’ latest tech-obsession (be it Fortnite, Snap Chat, Instagram), along comes the next big app, platform or game to keep them perpetually plugged into their devices and checked out of any meaningful communication.
But it’s not their fault. We have a whole generation of kids growing up in a screen-saturated world and parents who are themselves struggling to keep up. Sadly, this cyber-tsunami is having a profound impact on children’s long-term health, development and learning.
Dr Kristy Goodwin is endorsed to provide NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) Registered Professional Development for teachers accredited at ProficientTeacher.
As teachers & health professionals, we’re seeing first-hand the consequences of our students’ digitalised childhoods and adolescence
And whilst most of us acknowledge that ‘digital amputation’ is NOT the solution, many are at a loss as to what to do.

Technology is not going away. It touches every aspect of our lives and is having a profound impact on student’s learning.
