381: Back To The Tech Basics Without Going Backwards

Technology in education is constantly evolving, but sometimes the most effective way to move forward is to revisit the basics. In this episode, we explore how educators can build confidence with educational technology, strengthen foundational skills, and make intentional choices about the tools they use in the classroom. Discover how returning to the basics can help educators work smarter, support student learning, and continue moving forward in an ever-changing educational landscape.
