Responsible Use of Technology at MLHS
Mayer Lutheran recognizes both the benefits and the challenges of technology in our world today. To address some of the challenges our students face with the use of cell phones during the school day, we've made some changes to ensure our students are focused on learning rather than on their devices.
We're also making efforts to educate both our students and the MLHS community at large about responsible use of technology. Each week in the Email Extra, we'll include a guideline for digital well-being from the Center for Humane Technology (www.humanetech.com).

Guideline #3 - All Screen Time is Not Equal
The tools that measure our screen-time consider all screen-time equal, but what’s happening on the screen is much more relevant than the screen itself.
Instead of trying to remove all screens from our lives, consider the type of activity you and your children are doing on screens. For example, creating or being in conversation is often better for well-being than passively scrolling or consuming others’ content.
Drawing and making dance videos are creative acts, but they are quite different from posting these creations online and repeatedly checking how many likes/comments each creation received. The latter can turn into “slot-machine” behavior, which is riskier for mental health.
There is also a difference between two or more people looking at one screen and working together (i.e. games like HQ and Heads Up) and an individual scrolling in isolation (i.e. Candy Crush). The former is more like getting together to play a board game.
QUESTIONS TO ASK OURSELVES:
- Am I engaging in “slot-machine” behavior? e.g. Endlessly scrolling for the occasional emotional reward? Repeatedly checking my likes to see how many there are, or who liked my post?
- What values is this content/game teaching?
- How can I use what I am consuming as a source of inspiration for creating something of my own?
- What am I learning?
- What is my reason for posting? How would it feel if no one likes this?
