Using EdTech to Enhance Equity + Inquiry in the Classroom​

The implementation of educational technologies (EdTech) in the classroom can redefine and transform how students experience and navigate learning in our public school system.

Unfortunately, districts and teacher preparation programs provide little foundational grounding in how to leverage EdTech for student learning. And even if they did, technology evolves so fast that without an overarching vision and framework, teachers would soon find themselves behind once again.

Over five sessions, this course will guide you in developing a vision for EdTech in your classroom, provide a flexible framework through which to understand how you can implement the right technology at the right time, and introduce you to numerous EdTech tools you can begin to use immediately.

8 clock hours are available for Washington State educators.
