When does technology enhance learning? When is a discussion, hands-on activity, or paper-and-pencil task the better choice? This course moves beyond the debate of whether technology is "good" or "bad" and instead focuses on what matters most: making intentional instructional decisions. Explore how technology has transformed education, analyze current research, policies, and emerging trends, and examine the opportunities and challenges they present for today's classrooms. Throughout the course, you'll evaluate your own technology use, explore strategies for accessibility and digital wellness, and create actionable plans for making more purposeful instructional decisions. You'll leave with practical strategies and decision-making tools to create balanced learning experiences where technology supports learning, not the other way around.
