    by
    I was asked to record 5 different 15 minute tech using times throughout last week, and I was able to sit back and take note of what exactly I use my phone for most. Monday July 17- 15 minutes, checked Facebook and text messages. Sitting in my chair on my phone, while the kids watched …

    Being Mindful- The key to life?

    Organized Public Efforts- Digitally..Activism at its laziest

    by
    Activists have been around forever, and ever- now it is so much easier to be a voice for cause because of the internet.

The outdoor, …

    Digital Mindfulness

    by

    The original poster


    Now a DS106 Exoplanet

    Yesterday’s Daily Create asked us to:

    Where better to go than our very own 106 exoplanet! I have been working on this for a while - such a simple change but it was not easy to work out how to do it!

    “Now we can all go to Kepler 106 - where our shadow will always have company!”
