Is There an App for That? Developmentally Appropriate Uses of Technology in Early Childhood

Join us for a professional educational workshop presented by national speaker, Erin Walsh on the much discussed topic of technology use in early childhood! 

The youngest among us are no strangers to digital technology.  Yet families and educators are inundated with conflicting advice about screen time.  In this workshop, Erin Walsh will cut through conflicting information and translate the latest research for early childhood professionals.  Using stories, warmth, and humor Erin will share ways that technology can both help and hurt children’s learning and development and explore practical strategies for helping young children thrive in a world dominated by screens.

Erin Walsh is a parent, speaker, educator, and writer.   She has worked with communities across the country  who want to better understand child and adolescent development and cut through conflicting information about kids and technology.  Her work has been featured in local publications across the country as well as The Washington Post, Parents.com, PBS Kids for Parents, and Yahoo News.
