As a mid point mark of our inquiry research, the Kindergarten cohort and the Montessori cohort gathered to give brief 15 minute presentations surrounding what we have discovered. You can view my power point presentation below:

Introduction to Inquiry
The subject I have been exploring throughout this inquiry is the relationship between technology and modern day classrooms. Going against the dominant discourse of technology being a tool that improves and enhances our educational system I have several essential questions that I have been exlporing:
- Are there potential health risks associated with prolonged exposure to non-ionizing EMR (electromagnetic radiation) for children?
- Are there social or behavioural risks associated with increased screen time for children?
- What are British Columbia’s policies regarding technology in the public school system, and where does BC stand in relation to other countries perspectives on this issue?
- What can we do as educators to inform and protect but also still incorporate the benefits of technology into our teaching practice?
