A HEALTHY BALANCE It is suggested that in order to maintain healthy learning teachers/students should:  employ ergonomic tips (e.g., adjusting posture when using laptops) initiate a thoughtful balance between time online and the exercise that is necessary to our body operating at peak efficiency, and completely unplug, spending time with friends and family enjoying time outside, away from technology. (Georgia Virtual) My own implementation of some of these ideas required thought and attention to small details that I usually ignore. Often I get caught up in research or online work and I forget to take breaks. This week I made these attempts, I have noticed positive results with my energy level and overall well being.  Week of October 13, 2014
