Book Details

Is technology negatively impacting today’s teens?

Yes! American teens overuse their smart phones and personal devices. Consequently, their social interactions, focus, and ability to collaborate suffer. Teaching our students the “soft skills” they need to succeed in school, the workplace, and in life is essential. A method to teach soft skills in our classrooms and counteract the effects of technological overuse is offered in this book. Ready-to-use activities, rubrics, and assessments for elementary, middle, and high school students are included that are both Common Core and College, Career, and Civics (C3) aligned.
