Limiting Screen Time

Almost all of us are guilty of spending a little too much time on our devices these days. Even before COVID-19, this was a widespread issue but it’s no surprise that the average amount of time we spend looking at our screens has increased because of the pandemic. While it may be important for students to use their devices more for remote learning, we believe that it’s equally important to limit the distractions that come with these devices as much as possible. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of 3 Tips for Limiting Your Screen Time that you can read and pass along to your students!
