Thesis Statement- Digital Health & Wellness

Digital Health and Wellness is the physical and psychological well-being in a technology world. This is a very important matter because safety is always first. People have been known to become addicted the Internet and this causes psychological problems. Physical problems may also occur like eye damage and repetitive stress syndrome. Internet users should be taught that there are dangers in technology that might damage their health (mentally or physically).

Three Design Ideas for GoAnimate













First Design:
For my first design, I have planned to create an animated video showing a couple of characters discussing the Design Cycle and what it is. 


Second Design:
For my second design I intend to create a video that demonstrates the characters actually using the Design Cycle in order to solve a product.


Third Design:
For my last design, I plan to create an animated video that describes the Design Cycle and just informs the viewer/6th grader. This video should have detailed and specific information.
