Screen Time & You
In this self-paced course, young people learn how to achieve a healthy balance between screen time and everything else life has to offer. Course includes an entertaining combination of videos, activities, reflection questions, quizzes, and more. Best suited for ages 11-14.
We all spend lots of time (sometimes too much!) on our screens today. This is especially true for young people. In fact, research shows that nearly 50% of tech-using teens feel “addicted” to their devices.
Although many young people use their screens in productive ways—to do schoolwork, learn new things, and maintain connection with friends and family, it’s important for them to know how to find balance between all the wonderful things screens and offline life have to offer.
In this course they will analyze their time to discover how they use it, learn about the “persuasive technologies” companies use to capture and hold on to their attention, and gain some valuable tips as they decide how to allocate their precious time. Course will take approx. 2-3 hours (excluding activities) to complete.
