Amy Farris, Teacher-Librarian - Westerville, OH, School District
Mr. Mercier delivered standing-room only sessions on screen addiction at the Ohio Educational Technology Conference. He introduced us to a deeper understanding of the effects of unhealthy screen behaviors. His honesty with this subject is timely, and certainly something that you do not want to miss.

Garrett R. Munro, Co-Organizer - Tech & Trek Conference, Hiram College
Mike's speech inspired me to become a tech addiction evangelist in my own right. Within a year I had read 5 books on the subject, conducted 5 surveys of students and parents, created a series of assignments that required my students to learn about tech addiction, engaged students one-on-one about the issue, educated my administration about it, and delivered my own session about tech addiction at an educational technology conference.
