Time Management

Procrastination and time management are huge issues for all of us, not just the kids. Here’s a great digital workshop on multi-tasking that can be used with middle school or high school students and for parent education.

Digital Workshops for Parents and Educators from PBS (The series on multitasking is quite effective with grades 6-8)

Show them the video of Mutlitasking at MIT and then go through the information on Continuous Partial Attention. Usually leads to a great discussion, especially for kids in a 1-to-1 environment. Lots of other great stuff on there if you dig through.
