Welcome students. Introduce today’s focus: understanding how too much screen time affects our minds, bodies, and relationships. Explain that by recognizing these effects, they can make informed choices for healthier tech use.

Discuss each bullet and invite students to share if they’ve felt any of these. Highlight research linking screen overuse to anxiety and attention issues.

Point out how posture and eye strain develop over time. Introduce the 20-20-20 rule (look 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes) to alleviate eye fatigue.

Encourage students to think about real-life examples—group chats vs. face-to-face talks. Ask: Have you felt isolated even when online with friends?

Explain the structure: students think individually, then discuss with a partner, and finally share highlights with the class. Set timer for 3 minutes.

Introduce the video as expert commentary on healthy digital habits. Encourage note-taking: “What’s one surprising fact or tip you hear?”

Walk through each strategy and solicit additional ideas from students. Emphasize that small, consistent changes are most effective.

Preview next session: students will use what they’ve learned to build a concrete action plan and commit to realistic goals. Encourage them to review the linked materials.
