As digital technology continues to evolve, educators now have numerous options to connect, learn, and grow in both formal and informal ways. These pathways provide an incredible supplement to formal learning opportunities that are provided through district/school trainings as well as off-site conferences, workshops, and presentations.

It is also important to point out the following: You don’t need technology to personalize learning. Putting all kids on a device simultaneously and having them watch a video or work on an adaptive learning tool is not personalization. It’s not all students doing the same thing at the same time, the same way.
