Looking to make technology use a habit in your classroom? Make it a routine! EdTech routines are replicable digital activities that can be leveraged regularly regardless of context or content. Over time, EdTech routines help learners develop digital resilience.

This course is designed to help you develop a systematic approach to developing EdTech routines that best suit your learners, learning context, and that can be flexibly implemented within a variety of settings. Over the course of four sessions, you will consider your students’ goals and context, explore EdTech resources and tools, choose tools that will work best for you and your students, and design routines using those tools that you can immediately begin using with your learners.

As part of this course, you will design and implement two EdTech routines with feedback and support from coaches and colleagues.

This course has been adapted for Massachusetts educators from the IDEAL Consortium Course Building an EdTech Strategy Toolkit (BEST).

Course Format: This online blended course includes four synchronous 1.5-hour sessions, each one to three weeks apart. Sessions include large-group instruction and small-group sharing based on subject matter, with the support of subject matter coaches from the SABES Curriculum & Instruction Teams.

• Part 2: Independent activities on Canvas (2/29/25 to 3/6/25)
• Part 3: Virtual workshop on Zoom (3/7/25, 2 to 3:30 p.m.)
• Part 4: Independent activities on Canvas (3/8/25 to 3/13/25)
• Part 5: Virtual workshop on Zoom (3/14/25, 2 to 3:30 p.m.)

After each session, you will engage in one to three weeks of asynchronous work in which you will work independently through learning content and related activities. You will also engage in online discussion via Canvas between sessions with subject matter coaches offering facilitation and support.

Course Requirements: To complete the course, you must attend all four synchronous sessions and complete the assigned asynchronous work. You are expected to come to each session having reviewed the previous session’s course materials in Canvas, and having completed the previous session’s assignment(s).

Extending Your Learning: After the course, you will continue to have access to course materials and ongoing conversation through Canvas. We welcome you to extend your learning by building on the project that you will start during these sessions and by sharing your work and questions with your colleagues in Canvas. 

Course Access & Support: You will receive a registration confirmation and Zoom link from Jane Brandt. You will also receive an invitation to the Canvas course page. To ensure that you receive information about your training, please save jane_brandt@worlded.org to your email address book.
