The Truth Sometimes Hurts

Having conducted first and second hand research on behaviours around technology, I have extensive data that suggests student behaviours with technology are strongly effected by adult behaviours. We are not in a position to support our children in an online world that we are somewhat incapable of handling ourselves. Our children will be better users of tech than us, despite what we think. As an advocate for new UK and US legislation to smart phones and social media, I share my evidence on why our behaviours with technology matter now more so than ever before.
