Our guest today is Ash Brandin, EdS (they/them), who has been a public school educator for over a decade. In that time they found innovative ways of using student interests — including video games — to increase engagement and make learning more fun and effective. Since February 2021, their Instagram page — @TheGamerEducator — has helped tens of thousands of families make screen time beneficial for the whole family. Ash believes screens should be part of our lives, not the center of our lives, and helps caregivers navigate the world of tech using consistent, loving boundaries.
