The Ed Tech Wake-Up Call: Rethinking Digital Learning for Kids

With Jared Cooney Horvath, Ph.D., educator and author

Tuesday, March 10, 2026
noon–1 p.m. PT
Live Q&A webinar streamed on Zoom

Educational technology has rapidly reshaped classrooms, but is all this screen-based instruction actually helping our kids learn? In this live ParentEd Talk, neuroscientist and “The Digital Delusion” author Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath joins ParentMap and Saklan to challenge EdTech’s biggest promises and examine what the data truly shows. He will explain how excessive technology use can undermine kids’ learning and attention, and share clear, practical ways parents and educators can restore meaningful learning at school and at home. 

You’ll leave with:

  • A simple understanding of the neuroscience behind how kids learn — and how EdTech-based learning can fall short.
  • Eye-opening data on the impacts of EdTech and how parents and educators can encourage schools to strike a healthier balance with technology.
  • Practical strategies you can use at home to boost your child’s learning.
