Technology is interwoven in education spaces and can have positive and negative effects. Online learning, smartphones, and artificial intelligence each present opportunities and challenges. This session will focus on the implications of technology use and mindful self-regulation for today’s students and teachers. The presentation will include an introduction to mindful self-regulation and related learning constructs. We will discuss recent research and implications for the design of instruction, classroom activities, and student engagement.
