    It is difficult for me to change the “lens” in which I view this course.

  11. Lisa – CRESTVIEW LOCAL – VAN WERT COUNTY (verified owner) –

    Interesting course, learning about the BPS scale and helping students regulate their mood, identify when they are bored and know how to help themselves change their environment or attitude. Role of mismanaged technology was also interesting in how students react when screen time is taken away,
