From The Y Blog- SUMMER SCREEN TIME: HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?

Posted by Lee Cruz on July 30, 2018 at 7:57am

Summertime means more free time for youth. Without the school day to occupy them, many children and teens find themselves entertained by TV, video games, websites and digital devices.  While these devices can be comforting on a rainy day or a means of decompressing, many parents, caregivers and camp staff may wonder: How is screen time affecting the health and development of the youth in our lives?

The answer is in the research:

  • By the time children turn 10 years old, every additional hour of television they watched as toddlers is associated with lower math and school achievement, reduced physical activity and victimization by classmates in middle childhood (JAMA Pediatrics  Opens a new window).
  • For every hour of television children watch, they are 8 percent less likely to eat fruit every day, 18 percent more likely to eat candy and 16 percent more likely to eat fast food (Time Opens a new window).

You Tube Offering Free Live Streaming to Nonprofits

Posted by Lee Cruz on March 20, 2012 at 4:44am
March 20, 2012, 8:49 am By Cody Switzer - Chronicle of Philanthropy YouTube has started a new feature that will allow all nonprofits to broadcast live events through their own video channels. Free live video streaming online isn’t a new technology—one of the best-known providers, ustream, started offering the service in 2007—but YouTube’s new service gives nonprofits the chance to stream video through their existing YouTube channels, with all of the features the site provides for other videos. YouTube has provided step-by-step instructions to help nonprofits activate the feature, as well as a detailed guide for organizations planning to live stream events. The American Foundation for Equal Rights, a gay-rights organization that is challenging California’s ban on gay marriage, was one of the first to use the live streaming feature. Two days before YouTube enabled live streaming for all nonprofits, the group broadcast a live performance of “8,” a play about the ban starring Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and other celebrities. source: Chronicle of Philanthropy
