✅ Start with trusted sources, such as .edu, .gov, and well-known organizations.
✅ Cross-check information across multiple websites to confirm accuracy.
✅ Be cautious of sensational headlines or information that seems too good to be true.
✅ Keep personal information private and avoid entering it on unfamiliar sites.
✅ Give credit by citing sources when using information for schoolwork.
Building strong research habits helps support learning both in and out of the classroom!

It’s #TechTipTuesday! Today, we’re focused on finding a healthy balance between screen time and well-being in our daily routines. 📱
Technology supports learning, creativity, and connection, but it is important to build habits that keep everyone feeling their best. Consider these simple strategies to create balance at home:
➡️ Set clear tech-free times, such as during meals or before bedtime.
➡️ Encourage outdoor play, reading, or hobbies that do not involve screens.
➡️ Use device settings to monitor and manage screen time.
➡️ Model balanced tech use as adults, showing when it is time to unplug.
Small changes can make a big difference in supporting focus, rest, and overall well-being!
