The document discusses how digital screens and online tools can foster transformative personal connections in a hyperconnected world. It presents four examples of people using Skype, AudioBoo, iPadio and iMovie to strengthen relationships and share family histories. The document advocates using screens in humanizing ways, giving students choices in creating and teaching with media, and making time for playing with different technologies.
