Beyond the Ban: AI & Social Media for Next-Gen Schools

Tuesday, April 14, 2026
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CT
Location: Chicago 10
Leadership & Vision
In an increasingly digital world, educational leaders face a critical choice: ban technology or strategically embrace it to prepare students for the future. This 50-minute session highlights an asset-based approach to leveraging social media and AI for district improvement and innovation, as successfully implemented by Meriden and Cheshire Public Schools. We move beyond simplistic bans, addressing concerns like mental health and misinformation through comprehensive education and purposeful integration.
