Ed Tech to enhance school-based wellbeing education: Strengths and limitations

This presentation will outline:

Steps involved in the online conversion of a face-to-face wellbeing program that focusses on the mind-body connection.
Key findings arising from discovery sessions held with staff and students from government and independent schools during and following the online conversion of this newly developed wellbeing program.
The challenges involved in incorporating the use of personalised biofeedback into the program.
Initiatives implemented to ensure that the online program was youth friendly and engaging, and could be flexibly delivered within the curriculum by school staff without any specialised wellbeing knowledge.
Key take aways - technology matters to young people when learning about wellbeing, particularly if it aids their self-knowledge by making wellbeing education more tangible and personalised.
