Matt presents:

Healthy Technology Use

• Reduce screentime during school hours.
• Promote a balanced and responsible use of technology among students and staff.
• Limit screentime that's for noneducational purposes
• Encourage face-to-face interactions when appropriate
• Create awareness around digital habits at home and school.
• Identify the effects of prolonged screen usage.

The Goal(s)

Go to page 3

This slogan promotes finding a balance and taking a break from your screens will leave you with a empty head promoting free thinking you otherwise wouldn't get from a screen.

Slogan! (Black Screens, Clear Minds!)

Go to page 4

• Take a break every 20 or 30 minutes
• use your blue light filter (it protects your eyes and prevents strain)
• set a screentime limit on all your devices
• create a tech free zone (at the dinner table for example)
• use your devices for more than just entertainment!

Most lessons and schoolwork involve screentime. Having young children exposed to screens at such a ripe age is dangerous. They don't need more screentime at school, they surely get plenty outside of it. There's little moments we'll miss out on with our heads down. Our school does a great job already with screentime. I think a campaign like this would add a whole new element.
