Course Description: In this session, we delve into the complex interplay between phones, social media, academic achievement, and mental health in today's youth. As digital natives, children and adolescents are immersed in a world where smartphones and social networks are omnipresent. While these technologies offer unprecedented connectivity and access to information, they also pose significant challenges to academic success and mental well-being. We will uncover the multifaceted impact of screen time on students' ability to focus, learn, and thrive in academic settings. Moreover, we will examine the ways in which social media platforms shape adolescents' perceptions of themselves and others. By understanding the nuanced relationship between digital technology and well-being, educators and families can collaborate to support young people in navigating the digital landscape responsibly and fostering a healthy balance between screen time and real-life experiences.
