Today, we had our first fire drill. Prior to the drill, we reviewed expectations and procedures. The students did a great job, but we have some room for improvement! Next time, we will create a C-Chart for fire drills so we can ensure we can model for the rest of the school! The Gr. 6 students had an info session on vaccinations today and they will be given their shots next Tuesday. Students started working on their collages by cutting out letters and pictures from magazines. Please be sure to bring pictures, photos, materials from home. Between recess and lunch, we had our first lesson on digital citizenship. Students learned about balancing their digital media consumption with off-line activities. Parents, click here to review the lesson. They ended the day with music class with Ms. Chung.

Balancing can be hard in different ways. One of them is like balancing on one foot. One can also be media balancing and having control over your screen time. I know it can be addicting, but if you stay really close to your screen for a while, it can damage your eyes. Not only that, it can distract you from things like homework, etc.

If you don't want that happening, you can start resisting the urge to check your social media or chat often. Go out with friends or family and socialize in PERSON. What I like to do is do more of my hobbies and play cards with my sister. You can still have some screen time, just not too much. That's called a media balance.

Archer

@Leah great paragraph! I'm really impressed on all the paragraphs you've written 😤 From what I see everything seems great but next time you can maybe add atleast 2-3 more sentences? BUT OTHER THAN THAT YOUR DOING GREAT PLEASE TEACH ME SOMETIME HAHA

Leah

[Revised]

Balancing can be hard even if it sounds easy. One of those ways is media balancing. Media balancing is when you can balance your screen time with your daily routines. Even if your screen time can be quite addicting, try to resist the urge to check your social media or chats too often. Why? For one thing it can damage your eyesight. It can also distract you from your other routines like school, homework, chores, and even your job in the future.

If you don't want any of that happening, there are things that can help you prevent that from happening. As a start, when you are on your screen for a while, I split that time up with breaks and looking out the window and see far away. I focus more on my hobbies, play cards with my sister, and read. Even if you do any of these things, it doesn't mean you can't go online at all, just not too often. That's called media balance.

You write about how you can balance your device usage.

Archer

This creative song tells us that "too much of something can make you loose your balance". For example, in the video they are talking about if you use too much technology and don't balance with offline things you may loose your socializing skill and such but if you do things offline too much (which isn't AS bad.) you won't be able to do simple things (possibly related to school work and such) on devices because you haven't used a device/technology before!

I believe it is also important to socialize with your friends that you have in real life and your family. But to still balance your screentime with offline socializing time.

"Cherish everything you have while it lasts."
You might regret being on your screen all the time that you accidentally neglected a family member or friend and when their gone you'll feel miserable. Please cherish the things and most importantly the people (or possibly pets in your life!) because when their gone, you realize that you might have neglected them and now it may be too late! (Based off of experience.)

Balance your screen time and offline socializing and such homies 😎👊

@archer great paragraph! maybe try to make your intro more engaging, and make sure to use paragraph form. right now i feel like one part of your body is connected to the intro and the other part is by itself and the other part is connected to the conclusion, try to make the different parts more clear. other than that i love your writing and great work!

Your eyes hurt and they are blurry. What the teacher is writing you can't see it clearly. If that happens, you might be shortsighted. And for some people, the reason they are short sighted, is because you are media imbalanced. The big idea of this video is showing us how media balance is very important. media imbalance may not only make us short sighted, it could also waste beautiful weather, family, friends and time that we should cherish. Sitting there the whole day doing social media, while we could have went out on a fun hike and connect to nature and people instead. These are just very few examples of how media balance is so important.

So, if you don't want to be short sighted, waste time with friends, family, and nice weather, remember to be media balance and put away your phone!

What the video is trying to tell us is to be active go outside and maintaining a healthy lifestyle but also limiting our time on mobile devices phones iPad etc

Leah

@Orion, how about you add more sentences and write in paragraph form.

This video is about balance. Balance is important because it helps you stand and also balances your screen time. Some ways to be balance is limit your screen and read more books. This is why balance is important.

This video's BIG IDEA is to tell you to spend a media balanced life. A media balanced life means to have some online activities and offline activities. Online activities can include gaming, social media and online lessons. Offline activities can include playing outdoors, building legos and reading books. To have a media balanced life is the best way to stay healthy and still connected to the people you love.

Kaley

@aishi maybe give a bit more info on why there should be a balance but either way it was great

Wesley

9/27/2022 05:32:41 pm

This video tells us that we have to be balanced. If we don't balance our screen time then our eyes can go blurry and we wont be able to finish our work on time. If we are balanced then we can fish tasks on time and our eye sight will be fine. If you aren't balanced you could also loose you social skills.

sophie

9/27/2022 05:53:45 pm

The video tells us that we have to balance our screen time. The first reason why balancing your screen time is good, because your eyesight wont be bad. The second reason is, you can finish your work on time. The third reason is, you can spend more time with your family and your pets, if you have any. That is why balancing you screen time is good.

Imagine that you are trying to balance on a high beam. It seems easy when you see other people do it, but what happens when you lose your balance and dip to one side? You'll fall right off the beam and may even injure yourself. It's the same for media balance; you should be spending around the same amount of time online and in the real world, otherwise there may be serious consequences.

I think that the big idea of this video is to raise young people's awareness of media balance in a fun way. It's saying that there are many enjoyable things that you can do both online and offline, and that you should try to balance them. For example, if you spend all of your time playing video games, watching videos, posting on social media, or doing other online activities, your friends in the real world will miss you because you never hang out with them anymore. You won't have any chances to meet new people in person and therefore will have barely any social life outside of social media. Your eyes will also deteriorate from constantly staring at close-distance things and from the blue light produced by screens, and you won't be able to see anything without thick glasses. However, you don't want to overdo your real world time either. There are many disadvantages to this, such as not being able to communicate with friends, family, and teachers from a far distance, missing out on online homework assignments, and maybe even being excluded from friend groups and conversations because you can't relate to the online things they're talking about.

Although online games and other things may be very engaging and make you want to do them constantly, make sure to take breaks still and do something with real people in the real world! You want to be able to find a good medium between the online and real world so that you won't fall off the beam and these consequences will hopefully never happen!

Media balancing is pretty hard even if it seems very simple.
Media balancing is the balance between the time you went offline and online. An example of trying to balance your screen time is resisting the urge to check your device for notifications too often. Why? Sometimes it can damage your eyesight, many people needed to wear glasses because they stared at their device too much.( not me though, I got bad eye sight from reading too much.^^;) It can also distract you from your other activities like chores, homework. When you grew up, it could distract you from your work too.
You won't want any of that happening, right? Fortunately, there are somethings you can do instead of using you device. for once, you could spend time with your family and friends. You can play games with you siblings or parents, or take care of you pet.( if you have one) There are many ways to balance your time offline and online. If you just put your heart and time in it, you could achieve your goal in no time!

This video is trying to tell us that we should balance our electronic time and our outside or offline time. But that is not easy! but there are many strategies that could help. For example if you are going on Youtube very often like me😓,you could install one of those apps that you can set a timer then when time is up it instantly shuts off your phone. That way when your phone shuts off do not try to turn it back on otherwise it will become a bad habit. so when your phone shuts off just do something instead of using your electronic. There are many more other ways you could balance your screen time and your offline time but its to many to list. this is what I think the video was trying to tell us

This video is telling us that we have to be balanced. You should not do to much screen time or your eyes will get bad. You should balance between your screen time and offline activities.A way to stop your addiction from screen time is to give your device to a parent to hide for you. So instead of being on a device go outside and play with your friends!

Do you know how to balance your device usage? If you don’t, here is some examples how I can balance and self-regulate my own device usage.

Firstly, I can self-regulate by setting a time limit to the apps that every time I use I loose control. (YouTube shorts, WeChat channel, etc.) Secondly, I can ask my mom to remind me to get off of screen and play tennis, read or other off screen activities instead, a benefit of that is eventually over time it becomes a new habit, so nobody need to remind me to get off my devices. Lastly, I realized that when my device run out of batteries I usually leave it off if I don’t really need to use it and even then I can borrow my mom’s laptop and do my work on there.

That was three ways how I can control and balance my device usage, how can you do it?

Do you balance your online and offline activities.

As much as it is fun to be online we have to limit our time for are health, we need to spend more time with the people who are important to you not just your online friends but your family and school friends. It is also important to learn to use a device because it makes work a lot easier and more fun.
So before you turn on your device think do I need to use it can I do this with out a device and also think of the people less fortunate that don't have a device.

Those are things you should think of before you use your device

These are my plans to cut back on my iPad time I will limit my self to 30 minutes maybe and not look at YouTube for as long as possible and make my brother do the same:) for all the torture of rewriting.

Digital media, it has its pros and cons but it’s important to keep a healthy balance between social media and real life. This is important because 1. You might be missing out on some important stuff like exercise, family time and homework.
2. Being glued to the screen is not very good for your eyes….
3. Being online isn’t very productive…
This is a couple reasons why I think the balance between real life and your online life is important.

Digital media, it’s got its pros and cons but it’s pretty important to keep a healthy balance between your social life and what’s happening in the real world, I think this is important for a couple reasons and here are a few of them
1. While playing, watching or communicating on your device you could be missing out on some important things or opportunities such as exercise, family time, homework or even doing your hobbies.

2. Always looking at the screen wether it’s a tv, iPad, phone it’s not very great for your eyes or health.

3. Looking at a screen for most of your time isn’t very productive, like you might be watching a YouTube video when you could be studying for a test or playing Roblox when you could be reading.

These are all examples of why i think important to keep a healthy balance between your online life and real life.

Balancing your time online and offline can be hard at times.

Being online allows you to easily chat with your friends and play fun games, but it's not good for your eyes if you spend too much time on the screen. Having a good time offline can be meeting at a park with your friends, read and playing an instrument.

It's important to balance being on the internet as staring at a screen too long will have a bad impact on your eyesight and how you communicate with other people. Two ways I know to balance your time online is (1) limiting how long you can use your device and (2) taking a break every 20 minutes and look at something far away for a bit.

The most important thing you should take away from this is to make sure you don't spend too much time on screens.

Elton

Have your parents ever told you to stop using your device and go do something else? Well, my parents always do when I play games for more than 30 minutes. My parents tell me that I have to balance my video games time and my offline time and also take eye breaks while playing because they don't want me to be blind. If I don't take eye breaks, my parents will tell me to do 2 hours of homework continuously, and I want to avoid that. So, to avoid that, I have to find a way to make eye breaks fun. To do that, I'll put books next to my keyboard so when I'm waiting for an online match, I can read and also finish the 20 minutes of reading while playing video games! Overall, this is how I will try to take more eye breaks so I won't be blind.

It is important to balance your online and offline time because if you have too much of one thing, it could make a big impact. It's like standing up. If you lean too much to one side, you will fall down and it will hurt. That is the same with balancing online and offline. If you spend too much time online, your eyes will hurt. If you spend too much time offline, you might miss PAR.

My parents tell me that I have to balance my video games time and my offline time and also take eye breaks while playing because they don't want me to be blind.

Balancing is essential in our life. We have a school work life balance, an online and in person balance, and many more balances that we include in our lives. Yes, it's easier to connect with people through online messaging and calling, but it can also be very very addicting. I know a few people myself who are addicted to social media and constantly going on their mobile device, so this is why you shouldn't.

Many others say that it effects your eyesight or does physical damage to just you. Yes, it will probably ruin your eyes if you look for too long, but the thing I'm concerned about is ruining your appearance and behavior. If you're at a family or any social event at all and your eyes are glued to your screen, then it will ruin your appearance. It causes you to grow antisocial and distant with others. It will soon destroy your communication and speaking skills. You'll have a hard time interacting with others, it can be hard meeting new people and introducing yourself to them. Even if you have nothing to talk about, just put your phone away in your pocket and walk around greeting others. It's not always about having deep conversations and bonding as soon as you meet other people, just show them that you are a social and friendly person to be around.

Another reason to not get addicted to social media is because it will change you and your entire personality. You can see a lot of disturbing graphic images/videos on there and it will stick with you forever. I have been traumatized many many times by social media and its still sticking with me. I thought that it would just go away after a while, but it's been more than six months and I can remember clearly what I saw. Trust me if you're curious when you click on a video saying something like "I can't believe that this video got through the guidelines of (whatever app), check the sound I'm using for the video" please DO NOT try to find whatever they're talking about. It's better to just stay curious, trust me. Even if you don't use YouTube shorts, TikTok, or Instagram, you can still be changed online. How? By being bullied or pressured into it. Obviously, when everyone does something, you want to follow it. That's how 'trends' became a thing. It was viral and trending and everyone wanted to copy it. If you aren't 'trendy enough' then you'll be bullied. If you're wearing something that's considered 'babyish' or 'cringy' according to social media than that makes you 'cringy'. I mean I like to dress or do things the way people call 'trendy' but I don't think you should bully others just because they have a different perspective on it.

Those are the main consequences of spending too much time on your screens. Now for me personally, my goal is to limit my screen time to be more productive. Most of the time, I get home and flop on my bed going on my phone for hours. That is a huge bad habit and I really want to change that. My plan is to just start my day without using my phone, and not using for a bit at first when I get home. I'll start with 10-15 minutes, then work my way up. If I do slip up on this plan, I'll get one of my family members to just hide my phone until the time is up. Sure, it's a silly plan, but I mean what else can I do right?

Those are my plans to change my bad habits online, and the reasons why you should too. I'm not telling you to throw away your phone and never go online again, I'm just saying, if you do, try not to go on it too much. I'm still working on it too, but if you've just started using social media, don't go for too long. It just becomes a huge loop and you'll find yourself regretting it. Whenever you're online, please be safe, be positive, and limit your time. (any feedback?😓)

Balancing things in life is very important, so here's how you can balance digital media usage. As it suggested in the video, too much of anything is very bad for your mental and physical well-being. The same ideology goes for balancing your digital usage. If you spend too much time on your phone, scrolling and scrolling away on social media, you will soon be met with new challenges caused directly by media imbalance. Some of these challenges include bad social skills, blurry eyesight, brain not working properly etc. These can all easily be avoided, so heres how to do so;

Instead of sitting on your couch all day watching Youtube, you can instead go outside and play sports. this is something I like to do when I've been staring at a screen for too long. Another hobby you could do is reading. When you are reading you are learning by challenging your brain with new words and vocabulary. Alas, you can go for walks or runs at the park or a hiking trail. Having a good dose of fresh air is healthy for the body and has been proven to relieve stress. Even if it is a rainy day, you can still exercise indoors,

In Conclusion, media balancing is something you should do if you want to live a long, healthy, and joyful life. 😃

(sorry if this isnt very good as I am mentally and physically exhausted)

Being on a device constantly is a problem many people deal with nowadays. The solution to that? Balancing your digital media usage. Even if the concept sounds easy in theory, it's actually an extremely hard thing to do, especially if you're someone like me who goes on screens 24/7. Fortunately, I have come up with a list of ways to balance out your life.
Before we dive into that though, I would like to explain what exactly balancing your digital media usage is. The concept is relatively simple: balancing your screen time and when you use it with real life activities. For example, spending 1 hour on your device, perhaps on social media or the such, then spending 1 hour reading a book or going on a walk. However, it isn't exactly as simple as it sounds- but there are multiple ways you can improve this habit.
First off, setting a time limit your parents can change on your device can help. I know, it's frustrating to have your parents in control of everything, but it does improve your ability to focus when you're trying to do more real life activities. To add on, you can also tape sticky notes up with reminders to get off your screen or ideas of what to do without using electronics. In fact, I believe I will be using these tactics to incourage my digital media balance!
In short, balancing out your screen time and what you do off devices is tremendously important. It isn't an easy task, but there are several ways to help yourself focus and reach the goal of balance! I wish everyone luck with their strategies and tactics, and perhaps we'll all be able to self-regulate our device time!

Have you ever wanted to balance your screen time? Here are some ways you can do that.
Try to have the same amount of outside time and screen time. That really helps balancing your daily life and your time on your device.
Another way is to tell your parents to set you a time limit using the Wi-Fi. Many Wi-Fi routers/apps these days can do that. I know that you don't want your parents to set you a time limit right now but, can benefit your future and balance your screen time.
Remember that you don't always be on your device! You can play sports, hangout with your friends, reading, etc.
Use these methods to balance your screen time or even create your own!
Any feedback??? 🤔

Have your parents ever asked you to get off the screen and go outside?
It's because they want you to have balance.

You must make sure to balance your time online like playing video games and your time offline like reading a book. as the video said too much of one thing is not great for you and can be draining to your mental health and brain. Firstly, digital media can be very addictive you can sit down and start scrolling away at social media and not even realize that you are. It can also start to damage your eyes if you use the screen for long periods.
it may seem easy to avoid these things but in reality, it's pretty hard Instead of using your phone all day, some ways to balance your time online by going outside for a walk to play sports, talking with family members, or friends in person, and also set alarms on devices to remember to take breaks every 20-30 minutes.

It's important to remember to have a balance between online and offline to keep healthly.

Here's a way to balance your media use.
1. Make a media time limit with your parents.
2. Split the time up into tickets e.g. 3 tickets of 30 minutes each.
3. When you use a ticket you set a timer for however many minutes your ticket is.
4. And when you run out of tickets that's it for the day.
I think this is a good way to balance your media use!

I think that the video is saying that balance is important because if we don't balance are technology time etc. we wont get far in life wont learn as much or wont get to spend enough time with friends and family, its also saying go outside play sports enjoy life take risks and do lots of other stuff/things.

Do you know something that is very addicting? Digital media. Digital media is also important.

Digital media is important, because without it, life would be hard. Imagine a life without YouTube, Discord, Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter, Gmail, etc... It wouldn't be impossible to live without these, but in order to be able to do anything good, you will need these apps.

It is also very fun to use, but trust me, sometimes it could negatively affect you. I will share one consequence I had with Discord. One time I roasted someone for abusing me. Someone then took screenshots and blackmailed me. They ruined my entire summer. By the time I was going to tell on them, they already told on me for whatever reason, and lied to everyone, and got out of trouble. Lesson to learn: Whatever you post on the internet, stays on the internet, and people can always screenshot. On top of this, digital media can also destroy your eyes, break relationships, make you look silly, and affect your mental health.

In conclusion, digital media is important, but try to limit it because its also bad in a way.

Balancing is an important topic amongst everyone, sometimes you can't just stare at a screen for all day long. It isn't going to get you anywhere! Heres a way to keep yourself in a balanced life style.

1. Set a time limit for yourself, when the time limit is over, you can do something more productive.
2. Take breaks between every short periods of times.
3. When you have nothing to do online, you can go outside and try doing more productive activities! For example, biking around a park might be a good idea, or playing with your friends in real life.

These are all the tips i can give you.
