Student's Health in the Digital Age: A Post-Covid Lens
Seattle Convention Center - 617 FP57
The effective use of technology in educational contexts can dramatically improve student learning; however, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in mitigating the negative impact of student overuse or dependency on technology. In this session, we will apply our neural lens and explore strategies for decreasing the challenges students experience when we shift or limit technology from personal entertainment to fulfilling educational purposes. How can we infuse our learning spaces with neurotransmitters to increase student engagement and enhance learning in brain-aligned 21st-century classrooms?
