A series of stories woven together to start a conversation with middle and high school students about living our lives on and offline (on The Fourth Screen) more thoughtfully. This talk focuses primarily on the ideas of Empathy, Empowerment & Persistent Kindness and shares resources teachers can use to lead these sorts of conversations with their own students.
