Bringing Our Kids Into Their Digital Kindness Era
Monday June 8, 2026 2:00pm - 2:50pm CDT
In our increasingly connected educational landscape, students face unique challenges navigating digital environments. This session explores how digital wellness practices can be specifically adapted to support students creating more welcoming online spaces. The collective impact of digital kindness across learning environments will be called to the center for consideration and discussion as well.  We will share research-backed strategies that educators can implement immediately to help all learners develop healthy relationships with technology. We'll examine how assistive technologies can be complemented by mindful digital practices, addressing concerns about screen fatigue, online communication barriers, and digital overload. Participants will discover practical frameworks for teaching digital citizenship that accommodate different learning styles and needs, ensuring all students can engage meaningfully with technology while protecting their wellbeing. This session provides a holistic approach that empowers educators and learners to thrive in supportive, inclusive, intentionally kind digital communities.
