COURSE DESCRIPTION:
"If we have lost control over our relationship with smartphones, it is by design. To ensure that our eyes remain firmly glued to our screens, our smartphones – and the digital worlds they connect us to – internet giants have become little virtuosos of persuasion, cajoling us into checking them again and again – and for longer than we intend. Add it all up and North American users spend somewhere between three and five hours a day looking at their smartphones." - Eric Andrew-Gee
In the words of Simon Sinek, "I love technology. I think there is nothing wrong with technology. It is about the balance." This course is designed to help you find that balance for yourself and access new resources to share that balance with your students. The written text is Disconnected by Thomas Kersting which is available via Amazon or Barnes & Noble for $9.99 and additional materials are available at no charge online. This course is recommended for Pre-K-12 educators.

ASSIGNMENTS REQUIRED FOR HOURS OR UNIVERSITY QUARTER CREDIT
A. INFORMATION ACQUISITION
Assignments done in a course forum will show responses from all educators who have or are taking the course independently. Feel free to read and respond to others' comments.
Group participants can only view and respond to their group members in the Forum.
Assignment #1: COURSE FORUM: Introduction
According to the market-research group Nielsen, adults are spending over 11 hours per day interacting with screens. In 2016 (I'm sure the numbers have increased) Common Sense Media reported that teens spent an average of 9 hours per day on their devices, NOT including time spent for school or homework. Kids 8-12 were found to spend 6 hours per day interacting with media and kids 2-5 were averaging 32 hours per week.
Complete the following:
Respond in 450-500 words with your own perspective and relationship with screens. What is your reason for taking this course? Is there something in the Introduction that has you excited to read this book? Did you connect with something in either the Levi Wolff video or the TED Talk?
Assignment #2: Acquired Deficit of Attention
The idea for this course was born out of the responses from the remarkable teachers who have taken my Happiness and Making the World a Better Place courses. In our correspondence, it became abundantly clear that screen time is impacting happiness and the ability to make priorities for educators and students whether they are in preschool or college. The CDC reported that about 9.4 percent of children (6.1 million) in the US between 2 to 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD with rates increasing both among children and adults. ADHD is now the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood. Raising a child with ADHD costs five times more than raising a child without the condition. The CDC is exploring everything from poor nutrition to genetics. In this chapter Thomas Kersting digs into Dr Gary Small's research at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA to explore the link between technology and ADHD.
Complete the following:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/QpB4bNqvA_M
Respond in 450-500 words including your perspective on the comparison of the 45-year-old alcoholic and Jan, the 24-year-old millennial. Include your own perspective and the points that hit home from the chapter and the resources above.
Assignment #3: The Equivalent of a Full-Time Job on Screens
The ramifications of excessive screen use are vast whether we are talking about lack of fine and gross motor skills, tech neck, head horns, eye strain, or distractibility.
Complete the following:
In your 450-500 word response include a reflection on the topics discussed above as well as your personal perspective on how screen time impacts the ability to focus on a task that requires intense concentration. What information was surprising or new to you? Was there a specific passage in the book or portion of the resources that resonated with you?
Assignment #4: Who Needs a Self-Esteem When You’ve got Social Media?
FOMO or Fear of Missing Out is vastly exacerbated by Social Media. Twenty years ago you might hear about a party on Monday and wish you'd been invited. Today, thanks to social media, you could see pictures, get notifications, and be constantly reminded that you weren't invited before, during, and after an event. As an adult, it is easier to put all of this in context, but as a young person, it can feel like you've been ostracized. Among young people, the use of social media is seen as necessary in order to be invited to important events and not using that media constantly can lead to FOMO.
Complete the following:
In your 450-500 word response include a reflection on the 24/7 world of social media that is following our children home from school and following us everywhere we go. Reflect on your own insights on FOMO, warning signs, and the consequences of being this "connected".
Assignment #5: Multitasking or an inability to complete any tasks?
At first, I was surprised to see the reference to Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Dr. Travis Bradberry in this book, but on further reflection, it is apparent that there is a clear correlation between the increase in screen time and the need for Emotional Intelligence lessons in our classrooms. For years the ability to multitask was applauded, but it turns out that when we attempt to multitask we often lose the ability to focus and complete a single important task.
Complete the following:
In your 450-500 word response include your reflection on Professor Nash’s research into multitasking. Please include your response to the multiple studies referenced in this chapter including Jeff Guo, Psychological Science, and Common Sense Media. Reflect on the additional resources included above including how you can utilize this information.
Assignment #6: The Disconnect
In 2018, American's spent over $43 billion on video games. On average, children play video games for 2.13 hours a day with eight percent playing more than 5 hours a day. The average American video gamer is 33 years old and prefers to play on their smartphone. Of the $43.4 billion spent in 2018 the bulk wen to content, with gaming systems making up less than a quarter of that total. Nearly 65 percent of US adults play games A study by NPD Group has determined that 91% of kids aged 2-17 play video games either on consoles, phones, tablets, or computers.
Complete the following:
In your 450-500 word response include a reflection on video games including your own experience, your opinions regarding the chapter, and what you would add after reviewing the resources.
Assignment #7: Long-distance Parenting
The benefits of an undistracted family dinner are numerous. There is even an amazing group you can check out The Family Dinner Project for ideas, advice, and the benefits of carving out uninterrupted time. Unfortunately, in one study carried out by the Boston Medical Center, 73% of adults observed were using a mobile device continuously during a meal. Childhood injury is on the rise despite major safety improvements. Dr. Ari Brown uses the term "distracted parenting" to describe the growing problem.
Complete the following:
In your 450-500 word response, write a reflection on the chapter, including the author’s perspective regarding parenting, coaching, family time, and the dinner table. Specifically address the statement “Folks, if we put our minds to it…all we need to do is to learn a little self-control and teach this to our children.” What information was surprising or new to you in the book and the resources above? Was there a specific passage in the book or portion of the resources that resonated with you?
Assignment #8: Handheld Devices and a Lack of Social-Emotional Learning
As educators, we know that students with higher levels of emotional intelligence are able to manage themselves and better relate to their peers. Is it just by chance that as screen time has risen we've also seen a growing need for Social-Emotional lessons in the classroom?
Complete the following:
In your 450-500 word response include a reflection on Daniel Goleman’s “mixed model” for emotional intelligence and Peter Gray’s summary on the state of emotional resilience in today’s young people. In your response, include your own insights into the importance of social skills. Reflect on how Sonia's words can remind parents to be role models in social-emotional health. Reflect on how technology has changed social-emotional learning and what gave you hope in the provided resources.
Assignment #9: Leaders Not Followers
“Any fool can do something cool and look cool, but it takes skill to make something uncool cool again.” ― Criss Jami, Killosophy
While this chapter is focused on parents I see the key points as speaking directly to all of us. You are not a Luddite for choosing to limit screen time for yourself, your children, or your students. However, it is becoming increasingly rare for individuals to choose to limit their screen time and Thomas Kersting calls us to be leaders.
Complete the following:
In your 450-500 word response include a reflection on the difficulties faced in choosing to not conform whether that is as a parent, individual or educator. Share any surprises, lessons, or ideas you took away from the resources above.
Assignment #10: 5 Rules
I appreciate the fact that Tom Kersting is willing to put his stake in the ground and embrace these 5 rules. A decade before I gave birth to my oldest child I put the gist of these "rules" into my syllabus, sent research home, and highlighted them both during Back-to-School night and during conferences. I took the approach that I would do my best to eliminate homework for all of my students. I only needed a few things from parents. "1. Do your best to help your student get sleep. Tired kids are grumpy and they aren't ready to learn. Getting sleep means keeping devices out of their bedrooms and helping them get there at a reasonable time." I regularly shared recommendations on sleep. "2. Ask your student what we are learning about, I regularly post extra links so students can share interesting things with their families. Please ask them at dinner what they are learning about in class. I will give them something every single day."
Please complete the following:
In your 450-500 word response reflect on each of the 5 rules. It is difficult to overstate how important these rules are not only to the children in our lives, but also to our own well-being. Be sure to include struggles and potential pitfalls in sticking to these rules. Reflect on how you can use these rules in your own life and how you can share these "rules".
Assignment #11: Mindfulness and Meditation
Parenting toddlers, one of the first things you learn is not to say "don't put your blocks there" instead you say, "put your blocks in the bucket". Likewise, if we want to overcome the addictive nature of screens we need to prioritize what really matters in our lives.
Complete the following:
In your 450-500 word response address each of the themes within this chapter and in these resources including technology addiction, mindfulness, being present, concentration, anxiety, and the impact of unplugging.

Assignment #12: Meet Social Emotional Learning Goals with Screen Free Lessons
Many states have adopted Social Emotional Learning Standards, but even if your state has not adopted these standards you likely have goals that your school is trying to meet. Ohio's Standards are an easy read.
