Beyond Screen Time: Meaningful Digital Learning in K-5

As schools reduce screen time in the elementary grades, the key question is not how much technology students use, but how they use it. This poster session highlights purposeful, creation-centered digital activities that deepen learning and elevate student voice in K-5. Explore practical examples across subjects that show technology used for creating rather than simply consuming, and begin designing activities you can use right away. Discover research-based instructional practices to guide implementation and a clear framework for deciding when technology truly enhances learning and when it simply adds unnecessary screen time. You will leave with ready-to-use ideas and the confidence to make every minute of elementary screen time count.
