Choose Your Tools
Pick the tools that work best on your device. The skill matters more than the software. Chromebook, Windows, Mac and iPad users can all complete this activity successfully.
Use this to capture notes and draft your thinking as you go.
This challenge involves personal reflection on screen habits and, potentially, mood and sleep. Frame it as private and non-judgemental; learners should never be asked to share their screen time numbers publicly if they are uncomfortable doing so.
If a learner's reflection reveals signs of genuine distress, compulsive use, or a concerning relationship with technology, treat this as a wellbeing conversation and follow your school's pastoral care and safeguarding routes rather than treating it purely as curriculum content.
Strong responses are honest rather than performative, and choose specific, realistic actions rather than vague intentions.
For learners without personal devices, this can be adapted to reflect on shared family device use or general habits rather than exact screen time figures.
