Planning time online
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can explain how to plan my time online effectively.
Key learning points
- Using a diary or organiser can help plan time after school or work.
- It is important to be offline long enough to sleep, socialise, learn and exercise.
- It is better to put activities that benefit our health, wellbeing and learning first.
- Using 'Do Not Disturb', setting limits on social media and not using devices at meal times can limit screen time.
Keywords
Organisation - the act of planning something so that tasks can be carried out efficiently and effectively
Prioritise - to decide which task is most important and requires attention first
Screen time - any time spent on a digital device with a screen, for example, a smartphone or laptop
Common misconception
Screen time is a relaxing activity and therefore should be prioritised after school or work.
Screen time can provide respite if we have had a long day at school or work, but we need to balance it alongside sleep, exercise, learning and socialising.
Teacher tip
Show pupils how to turn on 'Do Not Disturb' mode on common models of smartphones and tablets.
