By Catto Healthy News reporter | Mr. Waddington III and Ms. Johnson’s sixth graders recently had a special lesson about technology with Mr. Steven Riggs, a Healthy NewsWorks faculty member. The students were asked to describe their experiences with technology. Here are some of the students’ thoughts.
Technology can affect how I feel sometimes. Social media affects my mood based on some of the videos that I see. I could be having a good day, and then whenI go on social media, I see a video that makes me feel sad and my mood is ruined. Technology can also make you feel unsafe. People can dox you. And when you post something on the internet, it is out there forever.
