Let's reminisce about the video games we played growing up. As a 90s kid, I remember going to my cousin's house to play Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, and when we were older - Mortal Kombat. Gaming is a whole new world now for kids and parents alike. 190.6 million Americans ages 5-90 play video games and 61% report playing a video game at least one hour per week. 90% of children play video games and are introduced to edutainment between the ages of 2 - 18. Today we're speaking with a pioneer in the video game industry who's leading with intention to create protocols and set boundaries where they're necessary. Patricia E. Vance is the president of the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) and has been with the company for over 20 years. She oversees the teams who assign age and content ratings to video games and apps. She also serves as founding chairperson of the International Age Rating Coalition (IARC), a non-profit that operates a ground-breaking global rating and age classification system for all things digital - games and apps. Pat is a member of the Board of Directors for the Family Online Safety Institute and the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences. Pat spent 18 years at Disney/ABC, and served as Senior VP and GM of the ABC Internet Group where she led two video game joint ventures (Creative Wonders; OT Sports) and the management oversight of ABC.com, ABCNews.com, Oscar.com and Oprah.com. She holds a B.A. in International Relations/Russian from Washington University and is a mother of two daughters.

On this week's episode of She Thinks, Adam Thierer joins to help us break down the complicated topic of AI. It's a field that combines human intelligence, data, and computer science to problem solve, and it's left us wondering, “can machines think or lie?” If you've been scratching your head trying to figure out this new field, this episode is for you. We look at what artificial intelligence actually is, the pros and cons, and what, if any, legislation needs to pass to prevent machines from taking over the world. Adam Thierer is a senior fellow for the Technology & Innovation team at the R Street Institute. He works to make the world safe for innovators and entrepreneurs by pushing for a policy vision that is rooted in the idea of “permissionless innovation.” Adam has published 10 books on a wide range of topics, including online child safety, internet governance, intellectual property, telecommunications policy, media regulation, and federalism. In 2008, Adam received the Family Online Safety Institute's “Award for Outstanding Achievement.”--She Thinks is a podcast for women (and men) who are sick of the spin in today's news cycle and are seeking the truth.

Student privacy is a growing concern across K12 education. Although many digital tools and edtech providers have invested in student data privacy, many stakeholders are calling for more training, awareness, and cybersecurity in the classroom. How can we guarantee that students get the best possible experience leveraging edtech tools and that their data is secure and privacy safeguarded?  In this episode of the CoSN Podcast, we discuss student data privacy, increasing awareness, vetting procedures, and more. There is no doubt that schools have a responsibility to protect student data and maximize student data privacy. In order to do this, schools must implement proactive strategies and training to support staff and increase student safety.  Today's guest is Kerry Gallagher.  Kerry Gallagher, JD, is an innovative teacher, school administrator, lawyer, TEDx speaker, keynote speaker, education consultant, downhill skier, hiker, mom, and wife.

MEDECINE AU CARREFOUR DES SCIENCES – Une émission proposée et présentée par José Cohen et Philippe Grimbert, professeurs de médecine à l'université Paris-Est-Créteil. Ils reçoivent Serge Tisseron, psychiatre et docteur en psychologie, membre de l'Académie des technologies. À propos du livre : «3-6-9-12 APPRIVOISER LES ÉCRANS ET GRANDIR » paru aux éditions Erès Apprivoiser les écrans et grandir : parce que les usages des écrans ne peuvent pas être les mêmes à chaque âge, et qu'il est essentiel d'apprendre à s'en servir pour apprendre à s'en passer, et d'apprendre à s'en passer pour apprendre à s'en servir. Depuis 2008, les balises 3-6-9-12 accompagnent les familles sur ce chemin. Cette nouvelle édition se présente enrichie de trois façons par rapport à la précédente, même si le message principal reste évidemment le même : l'apprentissage du bon usage des écrans commence dès la naissance, et il se fait en famille. 1. De nombreux exemples nouveaux. 2. La référence à des travaux parus depuis 2013 renforce l'idée que les troubles liés à la surconsommation d'écrans sont corrélés au temps passé devant un écran avant l'âge de trois ans. Du coup, l'accent de la prévention est déplacé. La responsabilisation se porte encore plus sur les parents dans l'accompagnement du jeune enfant. 3. L'énoncé d'un mode d'emploi pour aider les parents à tenir leurs décisions concernant les limitations du temps d'écran face à leurs enfants. Les enfants ont beaucoup plus de plasticité psychique et comportementale que les parents ne le croient le plus souvent : profitez des changements, comme la rentrée scolaire, pour modifier les habitudes... Serge Tisseron est psychiatre et psychanalyste, docteur en psychologie habilité à diriger des thèses (hdr) à l'université Paris Ouest. Il a publié une trentaine d'essais personnels, notamment sur les secrets de fa mille, nos relations aux images et les bouleversements psychiques et sociaux entraînés par le numérique. Ses livres sont traduits dans onze langues. Il est coauteur du rapport de l'Académie des sciences : « L'enfant et les écrans ». Le 6 novembre 2013, Serge Tisseron a reçu le FOSI Award remis par The Family Online Safety Institute, pour sa contribution exceptionnelle à l'encouragement des pratiques sécurisées des enfants et de leurs familles sur internet. Il a lancé une campagne de santé publique autour de sa règle « 3-6-9-12 » qui a été relayée notamment par Orange dans de nombreux pays. Son site : www.sergetisseron.com
