LESSON

How Tech Connects Us

How can technology keep us together even if our family, friends, and loved ones are far away?

Technology can help us stay close to loved ones who live far away. Students learn how to have meaningful conversations through devices: asking caring questions, listening well, and sharing about themselves. By planning their own special video call, students discover how technology can strengthen relationships across distances.

Objectives

  • Identify ways technology helps us reach people who live far away
  • Reflect on what makes for fun and positive video calls
  • Plan a meaningful video call with someone they care about
