Screentime is something we all need to be mindful of—the more time on our devices, the less time we spend socializing, moving, or sleeping. And those hours can add up fast!
Our guest, Patrick Green, is a leading voice in digital wellness with over two decades of experience helping international schools, parents, and students build a balanced, healthy relationship with technology. He blends research-backed strategies with his real-life parenting experience to help families manage screentime while strengthening meaningful connections online and offline.
A former Middle School teacher and Education Technology Coordinator, Patrick has led initiatives in digital citizenship and purposeful online learning. He is an Apple Distinguished Educator, Google Certified Innovator, and YouTube Star Teacher. Patrick is the author of Classroom Management in the Digital Age and 50 Ways to Use YouTube in the Classroom, with his new book, Winning Screentime, launching soon.
