LESSON

Creating Device-Free Moments

Why is it important that we have device-free moments in our lives?

Ever notice how we sometimes miss what's happening around us when we're focused on our phones? Help students recognize the value of balancing screen time with being fully present—not because technology is bad, but because we often notice, feel, and remember more when we're fully tuned in to the world around us.

Objectives

  • Recognize how constant device use can impact attention, memory and experiences
  • Identify personal interests and activities that might be more enjoyable or meaningful without devices

Vocabulary
