Focus and wellbeing in the age of AI
Students look at how short-video recommendation feeds and the flood of AI-generated content compete for their attention, reflect on their own habits, and set a practical self-management rule for using AI and digital tools in study and daily life.

Outline流程
Sample workshop outline (40 minutes)
- 0 to 5 minGuess first: students estimate yesterday’s short-video time, then check their real screen time (sharing is optional).
- 5 to 15 minHow feeds hold attention: recommendation algorithms, endless scroll, unpredictable rewards and the rise of AI-generated content.
- 15 to 30 minGroup activity: break down one habit and design one workable rule, such as notifications off, app time limits, or using AI to check homework rather than write it.
- 30 to 38 minPersonal commitment card: a seven-day goal.
- 38 to 40 minWrap-up and sharing.

How it links to EDB’s curriculum documents
In its memo to principals on school-wide digital education planning, EDB asks schools to watch the effect of long hours on digital tools on students’ physical and mental development, and to build healthy habits of use, introducing technology step by step so students do not become over-reliant on devices. This session supports that, and fits alongside values education or life education activities.
