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. Designing and integrating EdTech routines can build on your existing best practices and help your learners develop digital resilience. Join our four-part series to explore new digital tools, identify evidence-based strategies, and design two EdTech routines that can be a regular part of your instructional practice.
- Instructors working in any subject or setting (synchronous, asynchronous, online, in-person, or hybrid) who are looking to transform their teaching and increase students’ digital resilience
This professional development activity/course is designed for:
This course is designed to help you develop a systematic approach to developing EdTech routines that best suit your learners and 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 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).
Format & Requirements: This course includes four 1.5-hour synchronous sessions, approximately three hours of asynchronous work, a one-hour final project, and an optional two-hour final reflection. The total estimated time to complete this course is 10-12 hours.
