About the event
Join The Salish Sea School in partnership with Anacortes Education Foundation for this special speaking event with Katherine Martinko: author of Childhood Unplugged
About the Author and Presentation:
Katherine’s approach is not anti-tech; rather, she empowers the audience to understand the difference between digital media used as a tool, not a toy. She explores the risks of excessive screen time, urging us to rediscover childhood as a time for exploration, creativity, and face-to-face connection.
Packed with practical strategies for fostering independent play, building healthier tech habits (for both kids and parents alike), and redefining safety in the digital age - Katherine’s talk will challenge everyone to think critically about our collective responsibility in raising a generation that does not rely on the Internet for a sense of identity and belonging, and has an opportunity to develop human skills that set them apart from machines.
