Event Description
Presenters:
Seth Fleischauer, President, and Courtney Dayhuff, Director of Curriculum, Banyan Global Learning
Today's youth average 6.5 hours per day screen time. They are effectively citizens of two worlds - the flesh and blood world, and the virtual world. As tech makes the world smaller, it is more important than ever to create a culture of belonging. In addition to course and skill-specific content, educators must prepare students for responsible citizenship in both worlds. Self-awareness and relationship skills are as important in the virtual world as they are IRL. Educators have a responsibility to further the development of the whole child in both worlds. SEL and technology can combine to foster good citizenship in both. Content-driven, tech-infused classrooms often pose challenges to regularly incorporating SEL into curriculum. Participants will have opportunities to discuss their successes and challenges. Presenters will share research-informed ways, methods, and best practices they use to leverage technology to help students develop social-emotional skills and become responsible digital as well as real-world citizens. This interactive session will provide opportunities for participants to practice some of these methods.
