What is is Balance?
What is is Balance?
Technology is a critical part of our lives, but how much of our lives should it consume? The Oakton Schools Balance Project is designed to support families as they navigate the digital world with their children. In a time when technology is everywhere, our goal is to help kids grow up with a healthy balance — where screen time doesn't replace real-life experiences, imagination, or human connection.
Balance doesn’t mean avoiding technology altogether. It means helping kids use technology in meaningful ways, while also making time to be kids — playing, creating, exploring, or even just being bored. We’re here to help families find that balance, so children can thrive both online and offline.
Our First Tech Panel: Success!
Our First Tech Panel: Success!
We're very excited to report that our Panel conversation hosted at the Oakton Elementary school library on May 29th at 6:30pm to 8pm was a success. Thank you to all who attended.
Attendees included interested parents, experts working in our local school, and high school students sharing their experiences and insights. The panel was hosted by OES parent and Vienna native resident & sports coach Dale Van Wagner.
We dove into the struggles that parents face and how technology impacts their kids' lives. We believe that we achieved our goal for all in attendance to walk away feeling better informed in time for summer!
Stay tuned for more group activities!
