We often use our phones or other devices without even thinking about it. But paying closer attention to how -- and how much -- we use digital media can help us find better balance in our lives. Challenge students to truly consider how digital media adds to -- or takes away from -- their overall quality of life.
Students will be able to:
-
Explore the role that digital media plays in their lives.
-
Reflect on the positive and negative impact digital media has on them.
-
Create a personal challenge with actionable changes to improve digital well-being.
