The paper presents research results achieved during the implementation of Erasmus+ policy – experimentation project WINDEE - Well-being in Digital Education Ecosystem (no. 101195779). Researchers argue that the state of digital well-being depends on the balance between the benefits and drawbacks obtained from the use of digital technologies in the classroom. Taking technologies out of classroom is not a solution for digital well-being, it is the decision which bans technologies at all along with all the benefits they create for learning, teaching and assessment. High quality digital education practices existing in Europe prove that there is a number of strategies that need to be taken into consideration in order to ensure digital well-being for students and teachers. This paper presents the strategies enhancing digital well-being in school education when technologies are employed but not banned. WINDEE research results proved that digital well-being is directly related with high quality digital education practices and is dependent upon them.
