ATTENTION SPAN:
Restoring Balance & Focus
​
Dr. Gloria Mark
Thursday, January 9; 7:00-8:15pm PT (via Zoom)
​​​
​​​​​​​​​​With our lives increasingly online and technology advancing at an ever faster pace, many of us find our focus and attention have been collateral damage. Digital distractions and interruptions are playing havoc with our ability to stay on task and feel balanced. But there is hope. Dr. Gloria Mark, Chancellor’s Professor Emerita of Informatics at the University of California, Irvine, and author of the groundbreaking book Attention Span will discuss her decades of research on how digital media impacts our attention at home, at work and at play, and offer ways to make peace with our devices and regain our focus and well-being.
FREE for member school parents and educators.
