PESA NSW T3 Chapter Event: Dr Kristy Goodwin Webinar

Help students to tame their tech habits so they're not a slave to the screen.

Many educators and professionals working with students have reported a decline in students' attention spans. In this practical workshop, Dr Kristy Goodwin outlines why attention management is THE most critical 21st Century learning skill. 

Kristy will explore:

• How students' attention spans are being hijacked by technology and the impact on their LEARNING, PHYSICAL HEALTH and MENTAL WELLBEING;
• The concept of ATTENTION SPANS and why this will be the super skill of the  21st Century;
• The MYTH of MULTITASKING and why the brain requires MONOTASKING instead (sharing simple experiments to conduct with students to highlight this point);
• The three broad reasons why students are vulnerable to DIGITAL DISTRACTIONS; and
• Practical strategies to implement in the classroom to help students manage their attention (and subsequently improve learning outcomes and mental health benefits).
