NTIA Public Listening Session on Screen-Based Instruction in K-12 Schools
8/28/2026 7:16 am
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is holding a public listening session on September 15, 2026, from 7:00pm - 8:30pm EDT to hear directly from parents, educators, students, and child development experts about their experiences with screen time in the classroom.
Participants will be invited to share their thoughts on discussion prompts relating to excessive screen time, digital device use in the classroom, and other related topics. These insights will help inform federal policy efforts.
This event is open to participation from any interested stakeholder and NTIA will prioritize contributions from parents, educators, and students, with about three minutes allotted per speaker. The session will be recorded and posted online; participants under the age of 18 are asked to avoid providing personally identifying information during registration or during the session itself.
