He and his team are developing tools that monitor and help identify signs of distress, and then prompt people with appropriate support and techniques to help them address how they’re feeling. He joins Teachers College President Thomas Bailey to discuss why this is a challenging time for many people with regard to mental health, and how mental health supports like those his team are developing could be used in k-12 schools and beyond. </p><p><br></p><p>The oldest and largest graduate school of education, Teachers College is inspiring and motivating a new generation of leaders to pursue the solutions that will bring greater equity to the world across education, health and psychology.</p><p><br></p><p>To learn more about the Public Good Initiative at Teachers college and the work of our guests, access transcripts of this episode, and more, visit <a href="http://tc.edu/pursuingthepublicgood">tc.edu/pursuingthepublicgood</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Credits: Pursuing the Public Good is produced by The Office of the President, The Digital Futures Institute, and the Office of Institutional Advancement at Teachers College, Columbia University.

How Playful Technologies Can Build More Meaningful Schools
<p>Emerging technologies like generative artificial intelligence tools make a big impact on teachers, students and schools. This week, Associate Professor Nathan Holbert joins Teachers College President Thomas Bailey to discuss how they could help make schools and other learning environments and experiences more playful. “Play” might not be the first thing that comes to mind on the topic of schools and technology, but Professor Holbert makes the case for why we should stop separating our images of what it looks like to learn from what it looks like to play. How could schools be different, better, if we embraced playfulness, and how might technologies support our ability to create playful learning spaces?
