Tracks: Future of EdTech Educator

How do you approach transforming teaching with technology? With the breadth of professional responsibilities experienced by 21st century educators, integrating digital tools can be a challenge. Even if we consider ourselves tech-savvy, we struggle with implementing digital learning effectively because of the investment of time that is required to learn a new tool, practice teaching with it, or train our students to use it. The reality is that we must transition from treating technology integration as an event in the classroom to embracing it as intrinsic to class culture. If we are going to prepare students to think critically, solve problems, collaborate, and communicate effectively, we must be empowered with ways to integrate technology efficiently. By optimizing the time you spend on adopting new digital tools, you will find that you are not wasting time at all. Instead, you will find that smartly chosen tools may actually save you time!
