Five Ways You Can Use Technology to Spread Kindness

9/16/2019

Acts of Kindness for week of 10/16 - 10/22

Just like in Star Wars, technology has a dark side and a good side. And just like Luke Skywalker, we need to make a decision on which force we will join. 

The dark side of technology and students are things like, cyberbullying, Googling test answers, sexting, air dropping a picture of a quiz to a friend, viewing social media, and playing on apps while in class. 

The good side of technology and students are things like, independent learning by using tools such as Grammarly, Kahoot, Quizlet, and Khan Academy. Students can also spread a little kindness using technology. 

This week we challenge to use the force of kindness to do these five acts:
  1. Make a get better soon video. Using your smartphone, create a short video for an absent student. Gather a few friends or create it alone. Tell the person, you hope they get better soon and you missed seeing their smiling face at school today. Then, send them the video via text, email, or DM them on Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Alternately, you can show them the video in class on the day they returned. 

  2. Send a kind email. Send an email to a friend, colleague, family member, neighbor, etc. that says why you enjoy hanging out with them, the qualities you like about them, your favorite memory, and how much you cherish their friendship. 

  3. Kindness streaks on Snapchat. Send a kind word, picture, meme, or video to a friend on Snapchat every day this week.

  4.  Make compliment videos. Make short videos using your smartphone, giving a compliment to each classmate. Then, upload the footage, tag your school, and post it to your favorite social media account. Alternately, you can show the videos in class every day for the rest of the year. 

  5. Text kind messages. Grab your phone and text five people this sentence: Thank you for being my friend. I want you to know I appreciate you and all you do for me. I admire you because of _____________________. (Fill in the blank ideas: your kind heart, the way you listen, the warm hugs you give, you make time for me, the kindness you show others, your dedication, etc.)
    ​
Report back and tell us how it felt to be kind to others. Comment on our blog or social media using the #ichoose2bekind

Until next time... be thoughtful, be present, be kind.

    Note From the Founder

    Hello. I am the founder of the 21 Day Kindness Challenge Program.
    I believe if we focus our efforts on helping our young people develop good character values and teach them how to listen with their hearts their world will be a kinder place to live. It is my hope that my story inspires others to “be the change they want to see in the world.”
