Digital habits

Start by asking students:

  • Do you ever feel like you spend too much time online, on your phone, or on a particular app?
  • Do some things you do online make you feel worse instead of better?
  • Do you ever turn on your phone to do one thing and wind up doing five more?
  • Are there times in your day when you don’t look at your phone, or don’t have your phone with you at all?

 

Explain that just like everything else in our lives, we develop habits around using phones and apps. But we can change habits if we understand how they formed.
