On Electronic Media and Brain Development

Bring a leading authority on brain development into your professional development program. Explore the impact of electronic media on how and what the brain learns and remembers. You’ll learn about the negative and positive effects electronic media have on memory and response systems, and explore how children develop the neural networks to explore and process the information-packed cyberworld, how we can balance children’s need to master computer skills with the moral dangers that lurk n cyberspace, and how we can deal with the elements of violence and sexuality in electronic media such as TV, video games, and the Internet.
