What is digital well-being?

Digital well-being is about building a healthy relationship with technology. In order to use technology effectively, you can't allow technology to control your time and mental health.

With UpSavvy, students learn how to balance and navigate the digital world. They will understand the differences between consuming and creating media using digital devices. How important it is to balance time between digital and real life activities. There are certain times in the day where nothing is more important than real-life face time (e.g. family).
