Digital technologies offer many opportunities for teaching and learning, but can also create challenges such as digital overload, blurred boundaries and difficulties maintaining healthy digital habits. How can educators manage these demands while supporting students’ digital wellbeing?

Analyse the factors that shape your own and your students’ digital wellbeing.
Evaluate digital habits and identify strategies to manage digital demands.
Consider how to support students’ digital wellbeing and create positive learning environments.
Explore how educational institutions can support digital wellbeing.
Develop an action plan to apply your learning and promote digital wellbeing in your educational context.
This course is designed for teachers, school leaders and other education professionals who want to strengthen their understanding of digital wellbeing and develop practical approaches for their own educational settings. It is relevant to educators seeking to manage digital demands and support students’ healthy use of technology, and to school leaders considering how to promote digital wellbeing across their institutions. Participants from different educational levels and countries are welcome.

Towards the end of the course, participants will have the opportunity to share their work and experiences at a TeachMeet organised by European Schoolnet. A TeachMeet is an informal and engaging event where educators share ideas, classroom practices, lesson plans and innovative approaches with fellow teachers. As collaboration and the exchange of ideas are at the heart of this course, we are keen to hear from participants and showcase the work they develop throughout their learning journey. Those interested in presenting at the TeachMeet will be invited to complete an expression-of-interest form, available from the first week of the course. Based on the expressions of interest received, a selection of participants will be invited to speak at the event.
WINDEE is a European project working to improve the digital wellbeing of educators and students. The project explores how digital education affects wellbeing and develops research, resources and practical approaches to support healthier digital learning environments.
Join the WINDEE course and connect with educators from different countries.
