The ugly face of Covid-19 forced society to be more dependent upon social media social instead of in-person social. For several years now our students have not had a "normal" school year. The last two years we have seen schools across the nation fluctuate between virtual and in-person learning. Naturally, what do you think this does to a students in-person social skills? Even though we are back in school the lingering effects of being an anti-inperson social society are quite evident. Now I'm not placing this blame fully on Covid-19, but it certainly did not help matters. Our students almost act as if their cellphone is another appendage of their body. If you ask them to put it away it's as if you figuratively cut off one of their arms. They feel like their phone is the only way they can get answers, communicate with other people, or even stay entertained. I'm optimistic that the activities I am requesting to be funded will allow my students to see that there is a world outside of technology. I hope that they see that you can socialize, communicate, compete, collaborate, laugh, talk, live without technology in their hands 24/7. My project might not be teaching them a specific mathematical objective they missed due to Covid-19 disruptions, but it's geared toward helping them positively boost their "overall well-being."
