Wellbeing Corner
Whilst technology is amazing and connecting students to so many opportunities for learning we want to strive for BALANCE. We know students get a huge dopamine hit every time they are winning on computer games and this makes it hard for them to put the computer aside and communicate with family.
Balance might be:
• 1 hour of outside time a day
• Make meal time a technology free zone
• Phone / computer off by 10:00 at night (teenagers need 8-9 hours of sleep a night)
Try balancing time spent on technology and see if you feel better and more connected to friends and family!
