@Housna hello . I really appreciate your idea . I would like to add here that in our school as I have mentioned no facility of ICT labs so we just use mobile phone. And parents really get happy when ever a ask my children to bring their parents mobile so that I can teach you how to interact with the world so that they know about exposure of the world of knowledge and learning. If it available then I show them from my mobile.

Impact of technology on child's social and emotional development
-
Hi Mariam,
Hope everything is going well.Nowadays cellphones are essential in the day to day, but in the classroom evolves as an educational tool. Then we have a big relevance as educators to guide the use of technology for good. As a certified assistive technology instructional specialist, I transform it into a central resource for normalization.
It is amazing what we can get just having a cellphone-
Best,
Mr. Bryan -
Hello Mariam,
Learning is more fun when the use of technology is made. There is also the facility of screen enlarger, you can put it in front of your smartphone. For instance if you are explaining the topic Volcano, pupils can view the eruption in a larger format through the screen enlarger. It's really useful. As your school is not fully equipped technologically, you can use the screen enlarger. -
Good discussion has been done on the topic " Influence of technology on child's social and emotional development". I'm of the opinion that technology has influenced a child's soco emotional developmen positively as well as negatively depending on its usage. But the question is of those students who don't have access to technology. The problem of right or wrong usage of technology can be solved to some extent but the problem of avaiability of technology to every student is very difficult to be solved. That's why students hailing from backward areas are far behind in this digital work. A teacher alone or even a headteacher can not solve this problem.

@Mariam Hello Mariam! I am a piano teacher working within an inclusive program. My topic for this competition and the project I have been working on for several years is related to the benefits of integrating technology into inclusive learning. I invite you to read my text once it is published.
What I love to say - Inclusion should become a movement, not a project! -

@Mariam I agree that technology has both positive and negative impacts on children's development. To address the emotional challenges, we can implement low-cost ICT tools like refurbished devices, open-source educational software, and community-based tech programs. These solutions can ensure all children have access to essential technology, fostering an inclusive environment. It's crucial to balance tech use with offline activities to support well-rounded social and emotional growth.

In the age of AI and ChatGPT, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) has become increasingly crucial in nurturing students' well-being and emotional intelligence.
AI and ChatGPT can be leveraged to maintain and support SEL for learners in various ways: AI-powered chatbots can provide personalized SEL guidance, resources, and activities tailored to individual learners' needs and developmental stages.
AI systems can help learners develop emotional intelligence and self-awareness.
ChatGPT can lead learners through mindfulness exercises, offer strategies for managing stress and anxiety, and suggest ways to maintain well-being.
AI can facilitate virtual role-playing, social skill practice, and feedback to improve learners' interpersonal skills, empathy, and collaboration abilities.
AI can guide learners in developing the decision-making skills needed for responsible and compassionate choices.
By harnessing the potential of AI and ChatGPT, educators can enhance the social-emotional development of their learners and foster a more supportive, inclusive learning environment.
Some notable programs and applications that utilize AI to improve learners' SEL include:- Microsoft Viva Insights: An AI-powered tool that provides personalized insights and recommendations to manage well-being and work-life balance.
- Emotionally: An AI-powered chatbot that helps users develop emotional intelligence through conversations and emotion management strategies.
- Wysa: An AI-powered mental health chatbot that uses cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques to support users with stress, anxiety, and other concerns.
