This week we're beginning an exciting new Real Life Adventure Theme: Science and Technology! Students started off this interesting topic by asking themselves about all the ways that technology affects them in their every day lives. We also discussed the advantages and disadvantages of all this technology surrounding us almost constantly. We asked ourselves what life would be like without smart phones, computers, and even Facebook! Some thought the world would be a decidedly more bleak place, while others thought that a life without all these distractions would allow us to enjoy the more simple things like friends, family, the outdoors, and books. Eventually, we began to focus on this idea of BALANCE. We can limit the negative effects of technology on our lives by limiting our use of these distractions and spending some time focusing on things that require a little more attention, like personal relationships. I have no doubts about the thought-provoking and exciting discussions that will ensue in the coming days.
