5 Tips to Prevent Digital Burnout and Maintain Good Mental Health

5 Tips to Prevent Digital Burnout and Maintain Good Mental Health | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it

The Internet's reach is so pervasive, it feels as though it has always been around. The reality is that the web is still in its infancy, and we don't really understand the risks it poses to our mental health. In fact, various experts, such as Larry D. Rosen, a psychologist and author of "iDisorder," believe that personal gadgets are making us mentally ill and are exacerbating other problems such as narcissism, depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Other mental health professionals have already identified disorders ranging from "Facebook depression" to "phantom vibration syndrome."

 

Realistically, most of us don't have the luxury of disconnecting from the Internet, particularly communication professionals whose work depends more and more on it.

 

However, there are various things you can do to curtail the negative effects it may have and prevent digital burnout.

Blooms Taxonomy Posters to Use in your Classroom

Blooms Taxonomy Posters to Use in your Classroom | Aprendiendo a Distancia | Scoop.it
Blooms Taxonomy has been the subject of one of my first articles in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning. It turned out to be the second most popular post in this blog after The 21st Century Skills Teachers should Have. The principles of Blooms taxonomy have been into play in the field of education since the 50s of last century. The classfication of learning objectives within education proposed in 1956 by a committee of educators chaired by Benjamin Bloom , though received little attention when first published, Blooms taxonomy has since been translated into 22 languages and is one of the most widely applied and most often citered reference. There is even a 21st century version of this taxonomy that you can read about here.
