Digital Health and Welfare

For students to enjoy their time on-line there must be rules set in place. There must be balance between computer time and anything else. Children should not be given a computer and told to do work on it all day, they need something to get their brains stimulated such as standing up and doing something fun. Teachers need to set a screen time for their students to keep that balance and so their brains won't grow weary. For example, if I let my students stay on their computers for over an hour they would not be that keen to do anything else afterward. They would either be achey from sitting so long or sleepy, their eyes might even hurt from staring at the screen that long. They also wouldn't have learned that much from the games they were playing since their minds were not very active. All in all that technology time was a complete waste of everyone's time because it lasted far too long.
