- What is the most proactive means of ensuring the most balanced blend of technology and well-being?
Digital Health...I hadn't really thought about my own health as far as using technology goes. Thank you for making me more self-aware. I decided that less screen time at night is absolutely necessary for me. I tend to listen to a book while playing a game on my iPad at night. I began about one week ago not allowing myself to play a game at night. It was a bit difficult to let the book go, so I use the timer to give myself a limit. Both of these strategies seem to work well allowing me to get more sleep while still being able to "read" my book. I have not been able to completely avoid the iPad in bed, but not playing the games and limiting book listening time has cut down on staying awake late at night. A big plus is I am, feeling far less tired in the afternoons.
Last week I also became more aware of taking breaks while a school. I do use the Promethean board every day, but I use it with a presentation tool that allows me to walk around the room at any time. I have attached the presenter to my lanyard so I don't lay it down somewhere and lose it. Using a wristpad is a must for anyone who does any amount of typing. Prevention of carpal tunnel is essential to keeping the pain away.
