On Thursday, Jan. 17, 秋葵视频 College of Education (COE) will host a screening of 鈥淪creenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age,鈥� an award-winning film about the impact of technology on children鈥檚 development. The screening, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 6 p.m. in the Ogeechee Theatre, located in the Student Union on the Armstrong Campus. The documentary, featured in The New York Times, 鈥淭oday,鈥� 鈥淭he Dr. Oz Show,鈥� 鈥淕ood Morning America,鈥� 鈥淧BS NewsHour,鈥� and CNN attempts to address how families can minimize the harmful effects of digital devices. Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston decided to make 鈥淪creenagers鈥� when she found herself constantly struggling with her two kids about 鈥渟creen time,鈥� or the time spent looking at digital devices including but not limited to cell phones, tablets, computers and television. According to Ruston, children spend an average of 6.5 hours a day on screens, not including classroom or homework screen time. She also notes that some recent studies show that screen time increases dopamine production and causes behavior that mimics addiction. COE professor Regina Rahimi, Ed.D., explained that the film highlights topics that are relevant for teachers, principals, parents and others working with today’s youth. 鈥淲hile technology becomes more and more a part of our children’s lives, we have to have important conversations about issues such as: the impact of screen time on development; how to balance the use of technology at home and in the classroom; how to protect our kids from internet dangers; and how to educate kids about the potential perils of social media,鈥� she said. Following the screening, the COE will host a question-and-answer session with expert panelists to discuss the movie鈥檚 themes. Panel members will include: Ruth Outz-Moore, Ph.D., National Certified Counselor; Lucas Jensen, Ph.D., associate professor of instructional technology at Georgia Southern; and Wendy Marshall, instructional technology program manager for Savannah-Chatham County Public School System. This screening is the first in a series of five events that will take place on the Armstrong Campus during the spring 2019 semester. The series is being offered at no charge to students or the community as a result of a Campus Life Enrichment Committee grant written and received by Rahimi and fellow COE faculty members Kathleen Burke-Fabrikant, Ph.D. and David Owens, Ph.D. The additional screenings will include: 鈥淏ully鈥� on Feb. 12; 鈥淭he Cartel鈥� on March 5; 鈥淭he School in the Cloud鈥� on March 27; and 鈥淓lementary Genocide鈥� on April 16.
