Upper Dublin Launches Tech Trek: A Digital Well-being Resource for Families
The Upper Dublin Education Foundation has rolled out Tech Trek, an online resource to help families navigate digital well-being for their students. Michelle Boas, the Executive Director, explains that the scheme equips families with tools to promote engagement, health, and overall thriving of their children in the digital world.
Tech Trek offers comprehensive guidance on various aspects of digital life. It covers device readiness, ensuring families have the right tools for their needs. It also delves into social media safety, helping parents understand the platforms their children use and how to protect them. Additionally, it provides insights into gaming communities and promotes healthy screen habits.
The scheme was developed with a broad range of experts, including those in digital wellbeing and child development. It also drew on the insights of local parents and community leaders to ensure it meets the needs of families on the ground. The scheme encourages parents to model positive online behavior, setting a good example for their children.
Tech Trek is a significant step forward in supporting families in the digital age. It offers practical guidance and encourages open communication, ensuring children are taught the skills they need before being granted independence online. The Upper Dublin Education Foundation will promote Tech Trek at community events and plans to establish an advisory council for ongoing offers, ensuring the resource continues to evolve and meet the needs of families.
