Participate 4 – Digital Health

Create: Create a digital calendar containing scheduled appointments designed to improve digital health. Embed the calendar (or include a screenshot of the calendar) in your blog.

Answer: How did you modify your technology habits? What is the most proactive means of ensuring the most balanced blend of technology and well-being? What can students and teachers do to make sure they get the most from technology while simultaneously safeguarding good health?

It seems technology has overtaken our lives. I will force myself to stop using technology (including my phone) at 8:30 PM everyday. I will set an alarm for myself on my phone so that I do not exceed this time. As my daughter gets older I will monitor her use of technology as well and be more conscious of my example while she is awake.

Students also need to shut down technology at a certain point. I collect phones in class so that their full attention is on learning. Setting due dates at a certain time (i.e. 8 PM) is better than leaving is to the midnight standard so students will be forced to stop.
