The Challenge Families Face

Schools deploy technology and AI tools daily. Students are using devices for learning. But at home, families are left guessing.

Parents Ask

"How much screen time is appropriate for homework?"
"Should my child use ChatGPT for assignments?"
"How do I monitor without hovering?"

Students Navigate

Google Classroom, AI writing tools, adaptive learning platforms—with little guidance on responsible use at home.

Schools Deploy

Powerful educational technology but don't provide families with the frameworks to extend those practices beyond the classroom.

Our Solution: Align(ED)

A Structured Framework for Modern Families

Align(ED) is a professional workshop series that helps K-8 families build smart, structured tech habits at home that align with what's happening in today's classrooms.

  • Not fear-based — We teach families how to harness technology effectively
  • AI-aware — Direct guidance on ChatGPT, AI homework tools, and responsible use
  • Systems-oriented — Actual templates, agreements, and frameworks families can use immediately
  • School-aligned — Understanding what tools schools use and how to extend them at home

The Four Pillars

1. Visibility Without Hovering

Understanding school platforms and creating check-in systems that build trust

2. AI Boundaries

Clear guidelines on when AI use is appropriate vs. when it's cheating

3. Device Agreements

Moving from control to responsibility with age-appropriate rules

4. Digital Responsibility

Teaching kids why boundaries exist, not just enforcing them

Founded on Real Experience

Simon

Founder, Align(ED)

Simon brings a unique dual perspective to family technology education, having witnessed the school-home disconnect from both sides.

  • 8+ years of IT experience in educational technology environments
  • Former IT Specialist at a leading Fort Worth private school
  • Current Solutions Engineer at one of the world's most innovative EdTech companies
  • Direct experience deploying and supporting educational technology systems
  • Deep understanding of both technical infrastructure and the human challenges of modern classroom tech

"Working in school IT, I saw the same pattern: schools deployed powerful tools, students became proficient users, but families struggled with basic questions at home. Technology was advancing faster than the systems to support it. That's why Align(ED) exists."
