Screen Savvy Kids!
Class 4 have been lucky enough to take part in a Digital Wellbeing Workshop recently as part of the Screen Savvy Kids campaign in Cumbria!
Friend of Levens School Sophie Martin led the workshop and taught us all about the ABCDS of digital wellbeing. We created logos and slogans to help spread the word about what we learned – some of these will be made into a banner for us to display in school!
A is for Affection. This is another word for kindness. It’s important to make sure that we are always kind to others online as there is a real person on the other side of the screen.
B is for Balance. It’s all too easy to get sucked into a world of screens and before we know it they take up all of our time! We learned about some of the things we can do to help us balance our time on and off-line.
C is for Compare. It can be very tempting to compare ourselves to other people we see online and this can lead to negative consequences for our wellbeing. Don’t be afraid to be you!
D is for Delay. Now more than ever, young people have access to tablets, phones and screens. We all took a moment to consider whether a smartphone or similar is a need or a want, and to think about delaying smartphone use to later in life.
S is for Sharing. Always take a minute to consider what we share online. Once something is on the internet, it is very hard to remove it. Would we still be happy with our post in 10 years time?
Check out the photos below of us working, and keep an eye out for our logos and slogans! If you need any more information you can visit the website for Happy Healthy Together who are running the campaign.
