Madison PTSA meetings are a great way to learn more about the issues relating to what our students face at school and how prepare them as well as ourselves for all they may encounter. The majority of the meeting will be devoted to guest speakers with lots of useful information on a variety of topics with time allotted at the end for PTSA business and discussion. Meetings start promptly at 7pm in the school library. Upcoming Topics: March 12th
University of Washington researchers and doctoral students Heather Toomey Zimmerman and Laurie McCarthy will discuss two research projects related to youth and technology. Heather looks at how teens learn about and learn through online communication technologies like instant messaging and blogging (online diary keeping).
