#EdTech Recommendation

• The power button – step away from the tech
  • Take some time away from the tech 
  • So many are having to LIVE in front of tech – Remote Teaching → Fully Online or Hybrid Model
  • It’s good for your health to occasionally step away
  • At least look away from the screen – Follow the 20-20-20-Rule
    • Every 20 minutes look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds
  • Remember, unplugging is a challenge, but very helpful
