Mapping Connection

Students map their feelings of connection throughout a day, annotate peaks & valleys with tech use, then compare patterns with peers.

“[Students explained] the trends they saw between human connection vs whether they used technology...were definitely engaged and eager to learn more.”
— Amber Stacho, High School ELA teacher

The AI Effect

Students sort AI scenarios into Supports, Erodes, or Depends and debate ethical trade-offs, then craft personal guidelines for healthy AI use.

“[The AI Effect] scenarios provided opportunities for students to have rich discussions about what connection means.”
— Mandy Johnson, High School ELA teacher
