Tech Wise Parent Posse

The Tech Wise Parent Posse is a group of Live Oak parents who are all just trying to figure out how to thoughtfully engage with technology and media with their families. No judgments, no kool aid, just understanding, questions, discussion and support. We focus on developing skills that are appropriate for our own homes, and alternatives to tech when we choose to use them. Check out our evolving Tech Wise resource sheet. Meets once every few months. See Calendar for dates. There will be tea and snacks. Contact: Alessa
