AI with Heart: Using Technology to Strengthen Students’ Social and Emotional Skills
Learning is more than academics—it’s about self-awareness, empathy, and resilience. Guided by CASEL’s five core SEL competencies—self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making—this session explores how AI can help teachers nurture these skills in everyday classroom practice. Through live demos of tools like FlintK12, Microsoft Reflect, and other AI-powered platforms, you’ll see how technology can spark reflection, track emotional well-being, and strengthen connections between students and teachers. You’ll leave with practical strategies and an AI + SEL toolkit you can use right away to bring more heart into your tech-enabled classroom.
