#1477: "Navigating The New Childhood"

Being a kid ain’t what it used to be. And no, I’m not saying that in a ‘all you kids get off my lawn” kind of way. It’s just a fact. So how can parents and teachers deal with students who have grown up with wi-fi and technology and screens? It’s not that they’re not trying. 

Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, we’ll talk the new childhood, and how to help young students thrive in a connected world.

Then we’ll hear about a New York school that has a very different way to get books in student’s hands.

And we’ll spend an Academic Minute tracking the different critters that may be living in your water.
