evaluating their screen time

This learning resource focuses on evaluating and improving screen time habits among adolescents. It begins with the alarming statistics regarding average screen usage, emphasizing the perceived addiction teens have toward their mobile devices. Students will reflect on their daily screen habits through a self-assessment activity, analyzing their emotional responses and identifying key takeaways from their use of digital media. The resource includes a research deep dive into the psychological impacts of screen time, revealing correlations between high usage and lower mental well-being, social skills, and emotional stability. Various activities guide students to assess the benefits and drawbacks of screen time across different categories (entertainment, education, social, and creative), promote reflective thinking about their habits, and encourage the development of a personalized Digital Wellness Action Plan. This final plan will include realistic goals, accountability measures, screen-free alternatives, and strategies to overcome potential obstacles, fostering a balanced approach to digital consumption.
