程式設計師 16W 的「螢幕時間成癮」理解與應對

In this 16-week class, students will learn how to understand and manage their screen time addiction. 
It is important to note that this class is not intended to be a medical service, nor is it presenting therapeutic outcomes. Rather, the class is designed to provide students with knowledge and skills to understand and manage their screen time addiction. The course is educational in nature and seeks to provide students with strategies and tools to help them reduce their dependence on screens, improve their mental and physical health, and develop healthy habits and routines.
Throughout the course, students will learn about the effects of excessive screen time on mental and physical health, the science of addiction, and strategies for managing screen time. They will explore healthy habits and routines, balancing screen time with other activities, and practicing mindful technology use. The course will also cover digital citizenship and online safety, building healthy relationships with technology, exploring alternative activities to screen time, coping with boredom and anxiety without screens, screen time and sleep, digital detox and reset, and building a sustainable screen time plan. The goal of the course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of screen time addiction and how to develop a healthy and sustainable relationship with technology.

Each week, students will watch a pre-recorded video that covers the topic and includes engaging activities and real-life examples. They will then complete homework assignments to apply what they've learned, such as reflecting on their own screen time habits, practicing mindfulness exercises, or planning alternative activities to screen time.

After completing the homework assignments, students will receive feedback from the teacher on their progress and specific next steps for improvement. Throughout the course, students can ask questions and participate in discussions with the teacher and other students.

The course is designed for learners of all backgrounds and requires no prior experience. By the end of the class, students will have the knowledge and tools to manage their screen time addiction and create a healthy balance between technology and other activities in their lives.

This class allows your learners to watch the pre-recorded videos and do them at a time that is FUN for them! You can also spend extra time on the topics your child is most interested in. Since this is a Self-Paced class with no live meetings, students can log in at a convenient time to complete the week's lesson.

The videos will contain the information required to give students a good understanding of each topic and each one will include homework for the students to undertake during the week, as part of a project.

After watching each video and completing the homework assignments, students will be provided with feedback and the specific next steps on how to improve or adapt.
