It&#8217;s only 8 minutes long, so you can easily listen to it in the car, while you go for a walk, or even while cleaning the house. I urge you to have a listen, as I found it quite thought-provoking. The clip addresses important concerns about how the overuse of technology is impacting our children\u2019s learning and development. It\u2019s a powerful reminder of the need for balance in their digital lives, and I believe it will spark some valuable reflection on how we can support our students more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the points include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Digital Destruction of Childhood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The growing Mental Health Crisis in our children<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The hypocrisy of the Tech Titans&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Has the EdTech Experiment gone wrong?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please click this <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1zx8Iq55tPOITMXk02tcaQehRxUQISyUc\/view?usp=drive_link\">link<\/a> to either download it and upload in the appropriate drive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/04\/IMG_5152.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/04\/IMG_5152-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/04\/IMG_5152-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/04\/IMG_5152-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/04\/IMG_5152-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/04\/IMG_5152-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/04\/IMG_5152-145x109.jpg 145w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/04\/IMG_5152-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/04\/IMG_5152-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/04\/IMG_5152-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/04\/IMG_5152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 1935, Our Lady of Mercy Catholic College has held a legacy of instilling the values of leadership, excellence and service, nurturing confident young women.
