Everyone needs to unplug every now and then, especially K-12 tech team members who spend long days up to their necks in wires and screens. How can we maintain our personal wellness and mental health while balancing the demands of our important work?

Tune into this week’s Be Connected for a refreshing look at personal wellness and what it means to “unplug” when your job requires you to be at a computer day in and day out. We’ll be joined by LTC technology coach and SEL expert Anne Kasa, who will highlight several effective wellness techniques and strategies you can use to “unplug” when you’ve reached your technology exposure limit.

Give yourself an early Christmas present by learning what it takes to prevent technology burnout from following you into 2024!

PROGRAMMING NOTE: This week’s Be Connected will start earlier than usual, at 11:30 AM.
