March Call on Screens & self-directed, consent-based online spaces
And some resources about digital neutrality (or not).
Hello people!
I’m sharing the recording of our March zoom call below, and also some things that came up during that call, and further resources to explore around using digital technology and screens in our homes.
I’ll also share some guiding principles for future zoom calls, because I’m working on ways to co-create a space that feels self-directed and consent-based, as well as welcoming and non-dogmatic.
A few things we talked about:
one thing we all had in common was that it is HARD. Deschooling around screens is hard because of social pressure and the messaging we get about screen usage.
we talked about the idea of neutrality (what it means, whether it can/should apply to digital pursuits). I think about screens in much the same way I think about food, so there are lots of overlap there.
we talked about screens as regulating but also as dysregulating in some ways
