🍂 Everyday Presence: Exploring Social Presence in Life's Daily Rhythms: Everyday Presence is a new short film series (7–10 minutes each) that explores how cultivating social presence shapes our lives—from classrooms and workplaces to dinner tables, communities, and moments of solitude. In an age increasingly shaped by automation and artificial intelligence, the series asks: what does it truly mean to “be present”? Each monthly film invites us to reflect on the rhythms of real life—joy, grief, connection, and quiet—and how presence transforms both our daily experiences and our work as educators.

Roll Call: Who's Really Here?
This film reframes attendance as more than a checklist—it’s an invitation to see the person behind every name, screen, and desk. Roll Call explores how authentic presence in teaching transforms classrooms into communities of belonging.
