My Project

The era of remote learning taught us that technology offers many new and innovative ways to learn and succeed. However, my office is lacking the necessary tools to present digital content. A smart TV would allow students to participate in interactive lessons, through activities like: Google slides, powerpoint presentations, watching videos, singing songs, playing games, etc.

The connection between SEL and technology, when you think about it, is a fairly logical one.

This is because students can create more authentic learning when they use tech tools in a real way. Linking instructional content to both their emotions and using technology helps make the content much more real. It also generally results in students showing greater amounts of interest and passion. Technology also helps them express themselves in new ways or, for some students, for the first time. It may be hard for some to get their ideas across -- whether for physical or emotional reasons -- and using things like videos and games can help them convey what they're thinking and feeling.

One of the greatest benefits of using technology in social-emotional learning is enabling students to direct their own learning experiences. When they’re learning things they actually want to learn and care about, students tend to exhibit greater engagement levels and, ultimately, achieve greater results. Incorporating technology in SEL helps students work to their strengths and enjoy a more personalized experience in the counseling office.
