Students will participate in an advisory lesson on media balance and self management on December 13th:
We are spending more and more time on devices and often feel pressure to constantly be connected. But how much screen time is too much? In this activity, students will identify how their use of technology can affect their physical and emotional health, and develop strategies for achieving healthy media balance.
