Grade 8 explored how digital media can affect the brain. We looked at the features of apps and how they are addictive by design, creating habits that could be unhealthy. We did a survey and reflected on the amount of hours each student spends using digital media- it was surprising to see that some student norms are more that 6 hours per day!
Mr Duncan and Ms. Jo explained that people staring at their phones and scrolling through social media was not something they experienced in their youth. Grade 8 were quick to point out that this was just normal life for most people now…how times have changed!
Another lovely week interacting with my amazing 8A Advisory- they are fun, enthusiastic, dedicated and amazing!
