As almost every educator learned during remote and hybrid learning, it is not enough to simply pass out devices and Zoom invitations and expect success from student learners. Integrating digital tools and services into innovative instruction will remain an evolving challenge even as the pandemic (hopefully) recedes into memory.
This section will begin with a survey of practical considerations for the effective use of technology in instruction including how the pandemic impacted student and educator use of digital tools. You will also review some areas that often get overlooked by educators when using educational technology including how to safely and effectively use technology with students. In addition to exploring student data privacy and fair use of intellectual property, you'll examine the evolving challenges of teaching digital citizenship and information literacy.
