Across the country, educators are asking valuable and critical questions about educational technology. Are 1:1 devices inherently distracting? Is EdTech being used to truly support the formation of students, or simply to make learning tech-rich? (See the link below for a few recommended resources to get a sense of this conversation.)
Concerns about student attention, instructional quality, and device saturation are increasingly present in conversations among educators, parents, researchers, and policymakers. States and school systems are responding in different ways, while researchers and authors have added new urgency to debates about technology and learning.
This HPL webinar summarizes the contours of this conversation around how schools are thinking about educational technology. Rather than treating technology as either inherently good or inherently harmful, the webinar will examine the emerging tensions many schools are trying to navigate.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the current conversation surrounding educational technology, language for discussing technology use more thoughtfully within their schools, and an introduction to upcoming HPL work around purposeful technology use.
