Course Overview
Technology tools change fast, but the principles behind effective integration don’t. Clark and Avrith split their approach into two parts — Pedagogy (the why) and Toolkit (the how) — making this course accessible even for reluctant technology users. You’ll move beyond knowing what tools exist to understanding how and when to use them to actually improve student learning.
The course walks through a wide range of classroom technology tools and shows how each one fits into real instruction. You’ll evaluate what effective technology use looks like in your own classroom and develop strategies for integrating tools in ways that enhance learning rather than just digitizing what you already do.
