Deciding when technology gets your attention

The skill of digital boundaries  ·  name: ______________  ·  date: ________

Technology can be valuable and still need a boundary. Choosing when and where a device gets our attention may protect sleep, focus, relationships or time that matters for something else. A useful boundary responds to real circumstances and can be adjusted without becoming a punishment.

What we are practising

By the end of this lesson, you can explain a digital boundary and design one realistic limit for a fictional situation.

During the activity

Design a boundary: notes, noticings, or nothing at all. This sheet is yours.

Take it with you

Where in someone's ordinary week might one small, kind boundary, such as a device-free stretch or notifications off during homework, fit best?
