Finding Balance in Our Digital Lives: Teacher Material

Have students watch the video in the student chapter Wacky Media Songs: Think Twice With That Device!, or show it in fullscreen.

Before the video, ask: Do you ever find yourself using a phone, the TV or something else like a video game console just because you don’t have anything else to
do?

After the video, ask: Think about your favourite game, website or app. What makes you keep watching or playing, or come back to it every day?

What are some things you do with screen devices that you feel good about?

What can we do to keep doing those but stop doing things that just distract us?
