At first they were anxious but then they were able to realize the problems with constantly being attached to social media. I think we could all be challenged to do this. Maybe people will actually listen to others.

We could apply this to our lives now to start thinking over something before we actually post it so we don't get in trouble later on in life.

It talked about how unplugging from your phone can help with staying focused. I could do that and my school work might improve and I might learn more.

Of course the students expressed concerns saying they could miss out on upcoming events or news. But over the course of two days they were able to realize the were too attached to social media. It could apply so people could actually interact face to face instead of over a screen

This is completed by using perseverance and being creative to enable online platforms to work in ways that are useful for the one using it. Overcoming adversity is probably the biggest key to using this tool correctly. It could be applied to my life by when I'm put into a situation that requires online platforms, I could try to be more adaptive and figure them out, using my time and effort as a tool for understanding and solving the problem.

I think this is very challenging with all the new apps. I think colleges and school should put a time in place for no phones and take all phones and put them where the kids can see them.

I relate to this one so much because I am constantly on my phone. The author discussed how she challenged students at their university to unplug and have them examine their relationship with social media. She discusses with us how we could even limit our time on social media by downloading an app that would keep you from going to the websites that keep you from doing your work. This would be a good idea for me to use so I can take a break from social media and really focus in on my surroundings and school work and I would be able to organize my work better.

For me, I know I can get very distracted whenever my phone goes off. I also know that when I am separated from my phone, I feel very anxious because I, personally, use my cellphone when I am put into awkward conversations or when I feel scared and uncomfortable. I wait for it to go off in order to avoid those moments. I found it cool how the teacher challenged the students to unplug for just a couple of days. I have noticed that even my teachers sometimes get distracted whenever their phone goes off, and I find it nice how the teacher decided to create a challenge to the students in order to enhance their learning. I can apply this overall to my life by whenever I am in class, plugging it into a charger across the room so that I am not tempted to be on it. Also set aside some time where I can or where I cant be on my phone. It would help me pay attention and be more dedicated to getting my work done.

It mainly talked about how you should focus more of your school work and that you could actually learn a lot more and improve in your schooling. And It talked about how colleges look up your social media accounts and see what you have posted.
