Educators are overwhelmed, and the stress of unprecedented challenges in education has caused many teachers to consider leaving the profession. Technology is often portrayed as part of the problem, with many believing that the best way to pursue wellness is to unplug and avoid digital tools altogether. Author Meredith Masar Boullion takes a different approach, showing that technology used wisely can promote wellness, rather than undermine it.
