Did you know AI may help your mental health? Here's how https://t.co/gmrjPBqmuT via @YouTube #FTinELM @YassimKat #futuretrends

@LatoyaM16885 @TMkhize27200 @AshenaNaid25487 @YassimKat So true. Leadership in the 21st century calls for visionary thinking, cultural relevance and empathy. In Africa, this means leading change that’s inclusive, resilient and rooted in the needs of our communities.

Maintaining the correct balance between work and personal life is a priority for long-term well-being, productivity, and overall satisfaction. #FTinELM @YassimKat

[Megan Cooper @MegzCoops]

@TMkhize27200 @YassimKat Not maintaining a health work life balance can definitely lead to burnout, chronic stress. Maintaining a healthy balance improves mental well being and job satisfaction.

[Thapelo Mkhize @TMkhize27200]

According to Ogakwu et al (2022), teachers who cannot prioritize official duties and family roles could be vulnerable to psychological disturbance leading to mental health deterioration. Thus emphasising the need to balance work-life. https://t.co/n4lQmhDn6r @YassimKat #FTinELM

@LatoyaM16885 @TMkhize27200 @TM_Nkosi333 @Anastasjia2529 @YassimKat It important for leaders to research about the tools necessary for their schools in order purchase the right tools for their context. As well as tools that they are going to use and not leave idling.

Organisations are reconsidering how work is done, how people use technology, and how to preserve wellbeing in the face of ongoing change as a result of the acceleration of digital transformation.https://t.co/2CheWV0PZW via @YouTube @YassimKat #FTinELM

@TMkhize27200 @YassimKat @MegzCoops @VRPotgieter @Rosheena1987 Over time, the essence of Ubuntu has diminished, and the integration of AI is likely to bring further challenges. While conflicts may arise, the core values of Ubuntu will continue to serve as a reminder for people to act with compassion, empathy, and mutual respect.

[Thapelo Mkhize @TMkhize27200]

As a Departmental head in an impoverished school , one of the downsides is the lack of resources to successfully implement AI also the older generation of teachers are reluctant to learn anything involving ICT

[Palesa Mabuza @mabuza_pale]

Are you in a leadership role right now? If so, have you begun integrating AI into your operations? If yes, what challenges have you encountered? If not, what do you think the potential challenges could be?

[Thapelo Mkhize @TMkhize27200]

Using AI tools to improve mental health and well being is very important in current and changing times. However we should not forget that "Ubuntu" should be at the forefront . Thoughts colleagues ? @YassimKat @MegzCoops @VRPotgieter @Rosheena1987 #FTinELM

@MegzCoops @YassimKat @Luyanda_Mdl @LatoyaM16885 @MatodziRuth Reading this article, this quote came into mind : “Leaders with high awareness, wisdom, and compassion are perfectly suited for stepping into the future by leveraging both the powers of AI and their own human qualities" (Martli,2024)

[Thapelo Mkhize @TMkhize27200]

@VRPotgieter @YassimKat Very fascinating , I can only imagine if the South African education department invested in AI & an underrated gem is that AI systems (such as chatbots like Woebot) are always available, unlike human counsellors, and can offer assistance during emergencies or after school hours

[Luyanda Mdluli @Luyanda_Mdl]

Use AI to flag learners at risk — but decide as a team how to help. Tech shows patterns, humans provide purpose. #FTinELM @YassimKat @TMkhize27200 @TM_Nkosi333

Interestingly studies reveal that teachers have a clear preference for working in urban areas, with 40% of teachers indicating that nothing would convince them to work in a rural area. @YassimKat @Rosheena1987

In order to understand what makes some schools and geographic places more desirable to teach in, it is crucial to look into the experiences of teachers working in various kinds of schools across South Africa. #FTinELM @YassimKat @Rosheena1987
