## Resource

Elizabeth and Zak talk with Ash Brandin, author of Power On , about managing screen time without guilt or panic.

Then, a listener’s question about school tech mandates gets some thoughtful answers.  If you’re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you’ll consider joining! Keep reading to learn how.
