Although Common Sense Education has a ton of free to help promote this in your classroom, I want to focus on one that is for both teachers AND students, digital wellness.

As educators, we play a crucial role in helping our students develop healthy digital habits.

Here are some easy and effective strategies with resources to promote digital wellness in your classroom:

• Set clear boundaries for device usage during class time
• Practice mindful technology use during breaks
• Share your own strategies for maintaining digital balance

• Discuss the impact of technology on mental health
• Analyze digital media consumption
• Explore the ethics of technology use, especially AI in education

• Introduce fact-checking techniques
• Explore the concept of digital footprints
• Encourage critical analysis of social media posts

Discover the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, a valuable resource for educators looking to teach collectively to build empathy for others!

Explore their website for lesson plans, activities, and resources that foster a positive and inclusive classroom environment. From exploring the meaning of kindness to practicing random acts of kindness in daily life, these tools will help your students develop valuable social-emotional skills.

Join the movement and make kindness contagious in your classroom!

This new segment will be running a couple times a month and will include updates from your favorite tools that you use every day in the classroom.

This spotlight is for the Google Workspace!

What a re-leaf.
