Schools that create socially and emotionally sound learning and working environments, and that help students and staff develop greater social and emotional competence, in turn help ensure positive short- and long-term academic and personal outcomes for students, and higher levels of teaching and work satisfaction for staff. http://casel.org/why-it-matters/benefits-of-sel/
This website has been designed to describe technology activities that facilitate social emotional learning. The links in the menu lead to descriptions of the individual activities. They can be used within formal and informal educational settings. Even though the focus of the activities are on building and enhancing social emotional learning, many can be connected with content standards related to language arts, visual arts, oral communication, media literacy, and ISTE's National Education Standards for Students. Also, age levels are not recommended. Most of the activities can be adapted for any age level. For example, the Feelings Posters and I Am Posters have been used with upper level elementary and undergraduate students.
