In this thought-provoking episode, renowned child psychiatrist Dr. Jean Clinton explores the delicate balance between technology and human connection in education. Dr. Clinton shares insights on how relationships serve as essential "nourishment" for developing brains and offers practical guidance for educators navigating AI integration in classrooms. From the developmental progression of critical thinking to the importance of "connecting before correcting," she provides a framework for using technology as a tool that expands rather than replaces deep learning. Join us as we discover how wonder, curiosity, and human relationships remain foundational in preparing students for an AI-integrated world.
