To create a healthier relationship with tech, for the next week I will:

1. Limit my screen time to 2 hours per day, this excludes for school or work purposes.

2. I also will not post on social media and will not mindlessly scroll through my feed on social media, including but not limited to watching videos.

5 days later...

And here's how it went...

1. I was successfully able to limit my time on social media, but not all screens completely. Given that I was off of work last week, it isn't much of a surprise that I spent time on video games or watching soccer. I was able to successfully limit my social media use however, so I would say that overall this goal was accomplished. In terms of social media, I spent 33 minutes per day on Instagram(My most frequently used social media account). I had spent on average 10 minutes on Facebook as well for a grand total of 43 minutes per day. This was significantly below the 2 hour limit. However, as I mentioned, since I was off work I did spend a fair amount of time watching soccer and playing video games.

2. I was able to limit this significantly but not completely eliminate it. Since I was off of work last week, I had a lot of time on my hands and was still watching reels and videos but not at the rate I normally had. My average rate over the past 5 days on instagram was only 33 minutes, which is a significant decrease than the hour or so it had been in the past.

3-5 key points I learned from the resources reviewed: (Include a 1 sentence explanation.)

1. 93% of our free time is estimated to be dedicated to screen time not related to school or work.

2. Teenagers spend on average 8.5 hours a day on screens for non school use.

3. Snapchat is used as the primary form of communication for teenagers, and they are manipulated to want the longest "streak" possible of consecutive days of use.

4.The actual cost of our "free" time is on average $1200, but I would think that this number is higher for most of us since in the example the $20 per hour rate is probably higher here in the bay area.

5. Social Media and excessive screen use is a massive issue for students and teachers. The TED talks by Dino Ambrosi and Tristan Harris, as well as the short film by Max Stossel really did a great job if illustrating this. As a visual learner, seeing the data and numbers through images and charts really benefitted me and created more shock value. I think that these videos would be great to show students as well and I plan to show these to my students in the near future.

The following (2-3) resources were really valuable and I will return to them in the future. (Include a 1 sentence explanation.)

1. "This Panda is Dancing" does a great job of illustrating how social media companies use autoplay features, and notifications, to take a large chunk of our time without us even realizing it.

2. https://www.commonsense.org/education The commonsense website has a plethora of fantastic resources, ready made lessons, and tips that we as teachers can implement with our students immediately.
