Technology can be a huge help in our everyday lives. But sometimes we can feel like we are always in front of a screen, and we can lose time with the people and things that mean the most. To help us find a balance of technology that feels right for our families, Google has created lots of helpful tools and resources. So today I’m sharing how some of these tools have helped me and my family to find a balance and improve our digital wellbeing.

Untold Histories: Stuff I Wish I Had Learned in School
In my experience, there are two types of people in this world-the people who are thrilled to have left their school years behind them, and the ones who get nostalgic for school supplies come September. I am in the latter category. If I had unlimited resources, I would still be in college, collecting degrees and making all the young-ens wonder who the crazy old lady is in the back of the room. Sadly, being a lifelong college student is expensive, and I am not a character on Community.
