mindfulness gaming

  • Therein lies the worst part: We know the game is preying on us, and we let it. There is little else as substantive and convincing as Flappy Bird that the smartphone era has driven us to the cliff of insanity when it comes to compulsive behavior, contracting attention spans, and a desire to succeed at something arbitrary and meaningless.

    How can we be more mindful of our technology use? Is technology using us, or are we using technology?

    http://70.33.241.170/~neuro647/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/NT-SoA-The-impact-of-digital-technologies-on-human-wellbeing.pdf

    This publication aims to highlight what the field of neuroscience can tell us about the
    implications of using interactive technologies on young people's brains, behaviours and
    attitudes. It brings together the latest research from this emerging area, not only to
    understand its implications, but to recognize the limitations of the existing evidence.
    By doing so, we hope to highlight what is known about 'safe uses' of interactive
    technologies, but also what is not known, i.e. what cannot be claimed or needs to be
    researched in more detail. If we are to develop effective and safe practices that use
    digital technologies, we need to be clear about the evidence that we build upon and
    ask more nuanced questions to determine where future research should be focused. (from Foreword)

    Key Questions From Paul's Email on Feb 12 about creating an Interest Group

    Key Questions:
    How to help students manage their unstructured time on their devices?
    How to approach this as a faculty?
    How to talk with parents?
    What do we determine is a healthy way to interact with our devices?
    What are the issues? multi-tasking, skimming vs deeper understanding, entertaining vs. engaging, difficulty persevering, gaming and its use, self-regulation vs. time slipping away, feeling pressure to respond (how to end a conversation, limit stigma)

    Meeting dates:
    Feb 28, March 7, March 14, March 21, March 28, April 11
