This resource is filled with worksheets that will help you cover the Ontario curriculum expectations within grade 1 for Substance Use, Addictions, and Related Behaviours. Students will be introduced to devices with screens, reflect on how often they use devices within a day, and come to understand the signs of being hooked on these devices (an example being video games). This is a huge upgrade from my free screen time resource with a lot more material - complete.
There is graphing, using Venn diagrams and also activities to work on their understanding of time within this resource. Cross curricular!

Common Sense Media is often referenced as a source for resources and advice/ratings about app. However because they are funded by big tech companies and their foundations we do not believe their content accurately reflects the risks to minors since the pandemic and increasing advances of persuasive design, AI facial recognition, and privacy violations of apps and games.
Additionally the Digital Wellness Lab also conducts research and provides advice and resources but is heavily funded by major media/gaming tech companies.
The National PTA also provides resources for parents, placing the responsibility on parents to co-use and constantly monitor which is not possible. They receive significant funding from Meta, TikTok and Discord-- frequently using these companies to give their own safety presentations!
