What is Digital Health & Wellness?!?!

O We use computers a lot! But do we know what happens if we use them too much?

O We start to have poor posture, which is slouching or getting too close to the screen. This can hurt many parts of our bodies:

Our eyes….

Our backs

Our hands

And our

bodies….

Time Limits!!

O We all love games such as funbrain.com but we know that we have to get up and do things to stay healthy.

O If we use 60 minutes of computer time each day how long is that in hours?

O 1 hour! Great thinking!

O If you use 30 minutes of internet before dinner, take a break and use the other 30 minutes after dinner.

O No more than 30 minutes at a time!

Activity time!

O You will need a piece of paper and a

pencil. Label the paper 1, 2 and 3 down

the side.

O For each picture shown you will need to

look at it and decide if the picture is

moving or is still.

O If it is moving….how fast is it moving?

PICTURE #1

PICTURE #2

PICTURE #3

Let’s Chat…

O We’ll go over our results in class

tomorrow. Do you think everyone’s

pictured moved the same?

O Did it hurt your eyes after awhile?

O Write these thoughts down and have them

ready to discuss as a class.

Let’s Review!

O Sitting up straight at a computer can help

your back!

your eyes.

O Always take a break! 30 minutes at a time

before taking a break and doing

something active!
