LAT DIGITAL WELLBEING
At Leigh Academies Trust we believe that technology plays an important role in our lives. It can help us learn, stay connected and experience the wider world. We also realise that with it technology can bring additional risks and pressures. In the past few years especially, we have seen the impact negative use of technology can have on our wellbeing. So we want to support you in learning more about the technology you use so you can be in control of it, rather than it controlling you.
As you progress through this site, you may come across words or terms you are not familiar with. If you need help understanding any of the text, you can use Google to find the definition by entering "define:" followed by the word you want the definition of (eg. define:wellbeing).
Alternatively, you can copy and paste a chunk of text into rewordify.com to see a simplified version.
At Leigh Academies Trust we will help you to understand how to use technology professionally and positively to improve your life and career opportunities in your time with us.
It is important that we all become more aware and responsible of our habits, find ways to disconnect, and control the potential negative impact of Digital tools on our Wellbeing.
