WHRO Kids believes in using the power of media to help all children learn and grow. How can we harness the power of technology as a positive in children’s lives and make the most of screen time at home? Sara DeWitt, VP of PBS KIDS Digital, spoke about these important issues in a recent TED talk. In her presentation, that may make you feel a bit less guilty about handing a tablet to a child while you make dinner, DeWitt envisions a future where we're excited to see kids interacting with screens and shows us exciting ways new technologies can actually help them grow, connect and learn.
