Bloggers Stacey Vee, Cath Jenkin and Nicki Dadic were on the panel with viewers asking questions through the Google platform. It was a wonderful opportunity to gain more insight on the role technology plays in connected, tech-savvy households. Some of the questions that were explored during the session include:
* How and when should we introduce our children to devices like tablets, computers and smartphones?
* How should we protect our kids from unsavoury elements and adult content?
* How should we monitor and control the amount of “screen time” in our households?
* What role can devices like tablets play in the lives of families challenged by autism?
To those of you who missed out on the live web-broadcast, here’s the recording:
Background on the talk
Each of us has a story to tell. Some can write it down, some can draw it and some can even dance their way through the story – and for some – the best way to share a story is in a conversation.
We want to take powerful discussions and continue them in a conversation, so we introduced the Iris Sessions: Hanging out with Change.
Using Google Hangouts as our platform, we will chat to your favourite change agents about how the changes in their lives have affected them and how they dealt with it. You can send questions and have them answered live – or you can leave comments on the site and they will respond after the session.
If you’re not particularly tech-savvy, don’t panic. Here’s some information on how to watch live and chat to the change agents while the session is happening:
What is an Iris Session?
It is a Google Hangout that you can listen to live via Google+, or later, via YouTube and the Change Exchange site. Each session lasts 30 to 40 minutes and if you are watching live, you can send your questions through to the facilitator via the Hangout page. The facilitator will then bring your questions into the conversation.
Keep an eye on our Events page to ensure you diarise the dates. We looking forward to connecting with you!
Why ‘Iris’?
Iris is the name of BrightRock’s icon. This was called Iris in reference to eye – which lets in the light – and the Greek goddess of light whose rainbow connected the heavens with the Earth.
These sessions act as digital conversation spaces that we hope will provide you with new perspectives and shed light on the moments of change in your life.
