Participate 3 – Digital Health

1. How did you modify your technology habits?
Creating a calendar that makes one mindful of what they are doing during the week. I also would want to have a timer on my computer to remind me to stretch or sit up straight every 30 min. Making time to get away from the computer and unplug is very helpful.

2. What are the most proactive means of ensuring the most balanced blend of technology and well-being?
Set up your work environment on the computer for what makes sense for you. I had to put my computer at a position that required me to stand. I do not want to sit for too long. I also try and make sure to take breaks.

3. What can students and teachers do to make sure they get the most from technology while simultaneously safeguarding good health?
Make a conscious effort to think about how much time is good for sitting and try and work in breaks and exercise. Try and set up the computer to prevent fatigue for your wrist and back. I found yoga to be very helpful.
