Podcasts about Screen time

In many Western classrooms, the mobile phone is viewed as the "forbidden fruit", a primary source of distraction that must be banned, confiscated, or locked away in magnetic pouches. Teachers and parents alike are exhausted by the constant battle over "screen time," whilst struggling to engage students in an education system that hasn't evolved in decades. Lectures are often unengaging, leading students to drift away, yet we blame the device rather than the delivery. Is this prohibitive approach a catastrophic mistake? Stephen Hodges warns that Western nations risk being "digitally leapfrogged" by developing economies. In regions like rural Uganda or Brazil, the student's personal mobile is not a toy; it is a lifeline to quality education amidst a massive shortage of qualified teachers. By demonising the technology our children use most, we risk missing "the biggest opportunity in education that we've seen in millennia". Furthermore, focusing solely on restricting minutes creates unnecessary conflict at home, failing to teach the critical self-regulation skills young people desperately need. This episode of The EdTech Podcast offers a way forward by shifting the narrative from "Screen Time" to "Screen Purpose". Philippa Wraithmell sits down with three experts to explore how we can embrace technology rather than fight it: •    Stephen Hodges (Efekta): Reveals how AI teaching assistants on personal phones are solving the teacher shortage crisis and delivering personalised learning in emerging markets. •    Adam Huh Dam (Stick 'Em): Demonstrates how STEAM education is reaching the most remote areas using nothing but smartphones and internet access. •    Payal Patel (Digital Bridge): Provides actionable strategies for parents to build "digital confidence" and healthy boundaries at home without the conflict. Tune in to discover why the device in your pocket might just be the most powerful educational asset we have.

Two of the biggest media companies in the world are going to war over Warner Bros. Discovery, a massive media conglomerate that owns a historic Hollywood studio, as well as the likes of HBO and CNN. This week, Paramount put in a hostile all-cash takeover bid for Warner Brothers worth more than $108 billion. This followed Netflix's announcement a few days earlier that they had won a bid to buy the company's film, studio and streaming divisions, which alarmed many people in the industry. The Paramount bid is led by big time MAGA donor Larry Ellison and is backed by U.S President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Trump has already signaled he will be involved in whatever deal comes through. Lucas Shaw, who writes the Screentime newsletter for Bloomberg, talks us through what this means for media concentration, influence over the news and the future of the entertainment industry.

Have you ever experienced that moment of panic when you can’t recall a familiar phone number or navigate without a map app? This growing reliance on external memory—known as the “Google Effect”—is a real-world example of how we’ve outsourced core cognitive functions to our devices. Over a decade ago, a neuroscientist warned of “Digital Dementia,” cautioning that the over-outsourcing of tasks like calculation and navigation would lead to a measurable decline in our mental faculties. Today, that crisis is accelerating, amplified by Generative AI, which now takes over more complex mental powers, threatening the cognitive reserve crucial for preventing later-life dementia. But the consequences of this digital reliance extend far beyond the mind. Join us as we explore the price we are paying for entertainment and convenience with our guest, one of Germany’s most prestigious neuroscientists, Professor Manfred Spitzer. As a medical doctor, psychologist, and philosopher, he has dedicated his career to bridging neuroscience and education, and his work illuminates how technologies designed to save us time are actually undermining the fundamental structures of our mind and body.

This series, "Screentime and Your Health," highlights the health risks of overusing electronic devices. I think I was previously unaware of the dangers involved. But I'm starting to get the picture. In the last episode, we discussed how excessive screen time can hinder our ability to lead an active life by making us more sedentary and decreasing our motivation to be physically active. This is part two of the series, focusing on the topic of "Screens vs. Sleep." Read the full post at http://RunningAFEVER.com/433

One of the youth culture realities all of us need to understand is what's called “Age Compression.” Simply stated in layman's terms, Age Compression means that the things today's parents needed to navigate during their own teenage years are now things our pre-school and elementary-aged kids need to navigate. This means that pressures, problems, choices, and opportunities exist for kids who are at the most vulnerable of young ages. One area of concern is navigating life with our kids on what's called “the Digital Frontier.” Today's parents are called on to manage things like smartphones and social media that weren't an issue for them at that young age. The folks at the Pew Research Center recently surveyed over three thousand parents of kids ages twelve and under. Almost seventy percent say their kids use a tablet, and sixty-one percent a smartphone. So, what's a parent to do? Stick with us all this week as we look at the research from Pew, and parental response strategies.

Er brachte uns das ALIEN, den BLADE RUNNER und mit GLADIATOR den Sandalenfilm zurück ins Kino. Jetzt ist Sir Ridley Scott 88 Jahre alt geworden und das nehmen Andi, Wolf und Schröck zum Anlass einmal auf das Werk des Mannes zu blicken, um eine hauseigene Bestenliste zu erstellen. Also gehts von ALIEN - DAS UNHEIMLICHE WESEN AUS EINER FREMDEN WELT, BLADE RUNNER und GLADIATOR einmal durch die gesamte Vita des Briten, um zu erörtern, welcher der insgesamt 27 anderen Filme noch auf die Liste gehören. Und dann auch an welchen Platz. Gefolgt von mal längeren, mal kürzeren Plaudereien zu KÖNIGREICH DER HIMMEL, zu der Screentime von Brad Pitt in THELMA & LOUISE, um die Vorderzähne von Tom Cruise in LEGENDE, den Humor in DER MARSIANER, die Action und das Star-Aufgebot in BLACK HAWK DOWN, den Style von BLACK RAIN, den Wiederschauwert von AMERICAN GANGSTER, die unterschätzte Klasse von THE LAST DUEL und um ALIEN COVENANT, ah, ne doch PROMETHEUS – DUNKLE ZEICHEN. Nur bei HANNIBAL entstehen ein paar Fragezeichen, auch bei denjenigen, die ihn in ihre privaten Listen mit aufgenommen haben. Darüber hinaus soll es aber auch um ein paar Highlights aus dem Jahre 2025 von Wolf und Andi gehen, was kürzere Infos zu STROMBERG - ALLES WIEDER WIE IMMER, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER; BRING HER BACK, EDDINGTON oder WEAPONS zur Folge hat. Komplettiert durch einen kurzen Talk zum NETFLIX-WARNER-Deal, den die Drei allerdings vor der Nachricht geführt haben, dass das Studio nun endgültig für rund 82 Milliarden Dollar an den Streaminganbieter verkauft wurde.

What if the biggest predictor of your child becoming a lifelong reader has nothing to do with phonics programs, library incentives, or natural talent and everything to do with protecting space in their day? Cognitive psychologist Dr. Daniel Willingham joins Ginny to reveal the surprising truth about how kids learn, why background knowledge matters more than ever, and why reading aloud long past early childhood gives kids an academic and emotional advantage.

Smartphones have become the default for families, but what if the default is actually harmful? In this episode, Davies Owens talks with Chris Kaspar, founder and CEO of Techless, about why modern devices were never designed with children in mind and how parents can choose a healthier path.Chris shares the moment that opened his eyes as a foster parent and explains why families today feel trapped between two extremes. Either give kids full access to the digital world or reject technology altogether. He argues that both options miss the mark. The real issue is the design, incentives, and addictive features built into mainstream phones that quietly shape identity, attention, and spiritual formation.

My guest today is 17-year-old Abdullah Ansari, and listening to him talk about teen health, food, stress, tech, and purpose made my jaw drop more than once.
