Develop and create a lesson plan for a unit on healthy use of digital media to be taught to middle school age students.

This learning resource encourages individuals to log their digital media usage over a 24-hour period. Participants are asked to record the time spent on various activities and platforms, note the devices used, and reflect on their feelings associated with that usage. The resource also introduces key concepts such as Digital Media, Screen Time, Digital Wellbeing, and Digital Citizenship, explaining their relevance and impact on health and relationships. Additionally, it discusses the neurological effects of social media, such as the dopamine loop, and its implications for stress and self-esteem. The document provides guidelines for analyzing the credibility of sources using the CRAAP method and concludes with an action plan for establishing healthier digital habits through specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals.
