In 2013, she gave a TEDx lecture in Washington, D.C. about the impact of modern technologies, such as iPads, on early learning. Her most recent book, Tap, Click, Read: Growing Readers in a Screen Age, was released in September 2015 and was co-written with Michael H. Levine of Sesame Workshop’s Cooney Centre.
