Making the Move With Ed Tech

Countless technology tools are available to educators. But integrating technology in the classroom in a purposeful way is challenging. In this book, the authors help educators wade through ed-tech jargon and frameworks and learn to employ ed-tech tools strategically. Explore moves, or instructional strategies, both familiar and new, that facilitate student inquiry, dialogue, critical thinking, and creativity.

This book will help K–12 teachers:

• Improve their understanding of ed-tech tools and frameworks
• Explore both familiar and new instructional strategies, or moves
• Learn to employ educational technology tools in the service of instructional strategies
• Align instructional strategies with new tools and with International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards
• Apply strategies and tools across learning modalities, including in-person, remote, and hybrid learning
