Screens and Our Boys

As our students become more and more reliant on their devices, they can become consumed in their online world. It is reported that teenagers spend nine hours a day with digital technology. For boys, screen time usage outside of learning tends to be focused on gaming. Most device usage concerns relate to exposure to violent content and getting boys off their games. For more information on this and strategies to support healthy device usage please see the below article.
