Connect x Protect Webinar: How Technology Is Reshaping Childhood

Children today are growing up in a world shaped by smartphones, social media, artificial intelligence, and relentless digital engagement. Technology has created new opportunities for learning, creativity, and self-expression —but it has also raised urgent questions about online safety, privacy, and responsibility. Parents, educators, policymakers, and tech companies are all navigating where guidance, oversight, and accountability should begin and end. Join moderator Terence Samuel in conversation with Christopher Koopman, CEO of the Abundance Institute and father of seven, and Dr. Carmalita Seitz, Senior Director at ISTE, for a thoughtful discussion on online child safety, age-verification laws, parental responsibility, and the evolving relationship between children and technology.
