Revamping Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in the Classroom with Technology

The past 18 months have forced educators to navigate the tug-of-war between digital and physical learning solutions in the technological blink of an eye. Schools have since accelerated the adoption of cloud computing to deploy online learning tools affordably and sustainably, moving away from legacy and locally-hosted systems and services. Ambitions for ‘cloud eventually’ evolved almost overnight to ‘cloud now’. And just as the cloud empowers schools to expand beyond the classroom, the metaverse has emerged as a potential new space for making teaching and learning more engaging. So, does this herald the arrival of the ‘eduverse’? This panel of education thought leaders explores how education providers can leverage cloud-enabled solutions now and tomorrow, and what the growth of the metaverse might mean for the future of education.

In this webinar, we will focus on the importance of building our capacity to effectively partner with children, families, and colleagues. Our conversation will explore the critical role of self-compassion and explore resources for building capacity as we navigate our current challenges.
