As technology advanced, this special week expanded to include all types of electronic screens, and the name “ScreenBreak” was adopted to reflect this inclusive approach. The program reminds parents, educators, and students the value of stepping away from screen-based technology to participate in more engaging, play-based learning and entertainment options.
