Developing Digital Literacy with Dr. Pamela Rutledge Polly Campbell, Simply Said

Building Digital Literacy to Aid Our Health and Wellbeing

Technology is here to stay -- but that doesn't mean we have to download every app or respond to every text. Having boundaries around our technology use and being deliberate about when turn to our devices and what we look at when we do is a part of being healthy, happy, and digitally literate, says Dr. Pam Rutledge, a media psychologist, https://www.pamelarutledge.com/
Digital literacy begins, she says, with self-awareness and identifying our digital use patterns. When do we pick up our devices or log on to social media? What do we do once there and how long do we spend?
When we take an honest assessment of how digital media is playing into our lives, we can be more deliberate about the time we use it so that remain productive, healthy, and feeling good rather than overwhelmed.
