AADES is the peak professional organisation in Australasia representing school level distance education

Digital technology has enhanced the learning experiences of our distance education students and enables us to forge stronger connections. However, how do we ensure our students develop healthy technology habits? Jocelyn Brewer is a registered psychologist and cyberpsychology researcher who has spent over a decade exploring the impacts of digital technologies on how we live, love and learn. She has extensive experience working in schools as both a teacher and school psychologist and holds a Masters which explored factors which contributed to year 7 students' proneness to smartphone dependence. Jocelyn is the founder of Digital Nutrition. Digital Nutrition is focuses on the intentional and intelligent use of devices and healthy technology habits, improving digital literacy and wellbeing. Join Jocelyn at 1.00pm (AEDT) Thursday 23 March for a webinar on how to support the wellbeing of our students (and ourselves) in the digital age. ‍Stay online and join us for the AADES AGM at 2.15pm (AEDT).
