Have you wondered how to use technology to support your well-being? Do you know how to course-correct when technologies impact your physical, mental, or emotional health? Are you comfortable with setting some healthy boundaries with digital
technologies?
As online facilitators, not only do we need to use technologies purposefully to support our well-being as a model for our learners, but also we must keep learning how to enforce digital wellness programs to help our learners navigate digital spaces effectively and healthily. In this one-hour workshop, we will
- Explore the topic of digital well-being in higher education and what it means to become more digitally aware and digitally healthy.
- Reflect on some digital tools and the PERMA framework to promote well-being in remote teaching.
- Discuss ways to integrate digital wellness into teaching and learning.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to
- Develop your understanding of the meaning and dimensions of digital well-being.
- Explore and reflect together on some digital tools and the PERMA model in promoting well-being in online teaching.
- Identify some techniques to integrate digital wellness into your teaching and learning discussions.
