If your algorithm has also been screaming “screens are ruining humanity!” at you lately, then you’re right at home with us in this week’s team meeting. We break down the tech panic, talk about why students are tech comfortable but not tech fluent, and shift the focus back to building real human skills through creativity and play. From improv to pantomime, we’re exploring simple, screen-free ways to help kids think again, plus teasing our New Year’s “Favorite Things” party where we’ll swap our go-to play-based activities for the new term.Resources:<ul><li><a href='https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/we-asked-executives-what-skills-young-workers-are-missing-heres-what-they-said/2025/12'>Article: We Asked Executives What Skills Young Works Are Missing.
