Technology, teachers, and students all have unique roles to play in a blended classroom. But expectations need to be set ahead of time in order to create a successful and inclusive environment for all. While technology can enhance the learning experiences of all students, it can also become a distraction. In this webinar, former teacher and ThinkCERCA school success manager Erica Iantorno will discuss ways to set boundaries with technology, tips for clearly outlining procedures and best practices, and strategies for preemptively solving potential issues with thoughtful planning and execution.

In every day terms, emotional intelligence reflects the ability to read the social environment, to intuitively grasp what others want and need, to remain unruffled by stress and to possess the interpersonal skills to be engaging and the kind of person that others want to be around. Emotionally intelligent people communicate effectively, form strong, lasting relationships and create powerful coping strategies.
