SAIS Webinar | The Digital Delusion

In this 60-minute webinar, neuroscientist, and researcher Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath shares the premise of his book, The Digital Delusion. He makes the case that many classroom technologies undermine attention and deep learning, and that schools must put people, not programs, back at the center of education.

Horvath will introduce a practical framework school leaders can use to evaluate technology decisions and guide their teams and communities through these conversations with clarity and confidence.

Participants will:

•Understand the research behind the book
•Learn a framework for making evidence-based technology decisions
•Leave with language and next steps for leading their school communities

Who should attend: Academic Administrators, Academic Support, Assistant Heads, College & School Counselors, Division Heads, Department Chairs, Deans of Students, Early Childhood, Ed Tech, Heads of Schools
