We’re updating our name—and our focus. We’re moving from the first season of our podcast, where we asked, “Are We Doing Tech Right?” to a new title: Doing Tech Right.

While we’ll still meet and challenge people who work in technology, we’re also leaning into our own expertise - and that of our community. Expect more tips and conversations about making sure technology works for us, not against us. This episode marks a fresh chapter, with a deeper focus on actionable advice and tips that make parenting and educating with technology easier

We invite parents and educators to join us. By sharing experiences, challenges, and triumphs, we can collectively make informed decisions that benefit our children. And if you know someone who would be a great guest, send an email to our producer at vu@connectsafely.org.
