Forecast of Mobile Mindfulness through Digital Games

Throughout our ETEC 523 course, I have been conscious of the new and changing technologies of mobile learning. We have considered video, podcasts, 5G, DIY and mobile games, to name a few. This forecast is a culmination of multiple topics discussed throughout the past few months to highlight an area of mobile learning that can be improved. I finished A1: Mindfulness research with more questions. The results exposed a need to adjust the outlook on how to utilize mobile technology to enhance mindfulness. The concept of mindfulness is still relevant because of the inclusion in the B.C. high school curriculum and the global pandemic that is occurring. There is a greater need to acknowledge student stress levels when students return to school in September 2020. Mindfulness is a practice that meets curricular outcomes for grade 10, but the method should be utilized throughout all grade levels and beyond. For my job, I have increased the one to one student video conferences, which allowed for a deeper connection with many of my online high school students. I became increasingly concerned about their heightened anxiety and the abilities to regulate their emotional levels. How can I help students remotely?
