Technology and Blue Monday
Every Monday I share a different ed tech quote on our Thompson Classroom social media pages for our staff to consider.
Today, the third Monday of January, is known as “Blue Monday” and is widely referred to as “the most depressing day of the year”. While this statement has been disproved as pseudoscience, many people continue to utilize this time of year to bring awareness to mental health and wellbeing. I find that there can be significant pushback when it comes to technology use and the topic of user mental health decline is commonly included in this discussion. However, I strongly believe that there are instances where technology can positively influence mental health and, when used in conjunction with other strategies, could be part of a long-term mental health program.
Some examples, in no particular order, may include:
- using programs such as video-conference tools and online collaborative projects/games to connect with family and friends who are unable to meet face-to-face
- connecting with qualified communities that support user identity, interests, needs, etc
- participating in online events and programs that are not otherwise accessible
- accessing online health care supports
What would you add to this list?
Rummybet213 has been a good pastime of mine lately, it is great if you’re into that specific thing. Would recommend if you want to try something different when bored for sure. Here’s where i found it rummybet213.
Alright, so I stumbled upon jljl552 the other day and it’s pretty decent. Nothing crazy, but solid gameplay and seems trustworthy. Worth a shot if you’re bored. See for yourself: jljl552
