EdTech Vision

Prior to Governor Whitmer's order to suspend in-person instruction in K-12 schools, districts offered dedicated technology classes. Technology was viewed as an add on to curriculum and used in classrooms when time permitted. The unintentional use of technology over the span of two or three years significantly decreased the basic technology proficiency of not only our teachers, but also our students. At the end of what will likely be for many their most challenging year in education, looking back is more important than ever.

The Transformation to Digital Age Teaching and Learning will be an exercise in looking back and looking ahead. This three part series is written to support collaboration across key stakeholders and development of district initiatives for the 2021-2222 school year. Three key questions will frame this series—  Where are we now? Where are we going? How do we get there?

Part 1

Where are we now?

From devices and access to platforms and implementation challenges, I share observations and insights from the field.

Part 2

Where are we going?

In part two I talk about the vision for technology use in the county.”

Part 3

How do we get there?

In part three I talk about what's freely available and supports best practice to answer the question “How do we get there?”
