Keynote: Balance, Belonging, and Becoming: Supporting Student Wellness in a Digital Age
Richard Lopez, Assistant Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology
Digital media and artificial intelligence are reshaping how students think, connect, and make sense of themselves and their learning. Understanding how technology can strengthen and strain students’ mental health and wellbeing invites us to reimagine our roles as educators. K-12 education can become a place where students feel grounded, supported, and empowered as they navigate increasingly complex digital landscapes. By acknowledging students’ lived experiences with technology and co‑creating approaches that foster balance, belonging, and intentional learning, we can build environments that honor the whole student and help them thrive in both their academic journeys and their broader lives.
