Students and staff do without gadgets
Pupils, staff and parents at King Williams College will be giving up technology today (4 May) as part of a 'digital detox' day.
From 8.30 am, the whole college will go without mobile phones, tablets, laptops, email, Facebook and Twitter to encourage social interaction.
Lasting a whole 24 hours, the day hopes to highlight our reliance on gadgets and explore the impact that has.
Head of Boarding Ed Jeffers says today’s children are immersed in technology, which could make the event something of a challenge:
Attempted burglary in Ramsey sparks appeal
Two Manx high schools told to stop operating CCTV 'inside' toilets
Port St Mary Commissioners discuss civic amenity site changes
Ramsey residents 'shocked' at Looneys closure announcement
King Gaming's license suspended amidst criminal investigation
Hopes new unit will reduce amount of time patients spend in hospital
