My Personality

I, along with my Digital Solutions students, took a personality test recently to discover my/our personality strengths and weaknesses. For the most part, I agree with the results. Not sure I agree with the graphic of a woman wearing a yellow dress for the "Entertainer," but I do agree that my personality is assertive, more feeling than thinking and observant. Ok, so why take a personality test in a Digital Solutions class? A major part of my job, and that of DS students and interns, is providing solid customer service with respect to our interactions with students, teachers, administrators. Being aware of personality strengths and weaknesses will help me when I support others with their technology needs.

How much is too much?

Screen Time! It is different for every child based on several factors. Age, access to technology at school and at home, teacher and parent perspective on screen time and communication between all parties. Finally, the American Academy of Pediatrics has not only published recommendations, but developed a tool to guide parents and their children with Screen Time.
