Some are edited and/or written by members of the Ask a Tech Teacher crew. Others, by tech teachers who work with the same publisher I do. All of them, I’ve found well-suited to the task of scaling and differentiating tech skills for age groups, scaffolding learning year-to-year, taking into account the perspectives and norms of

When we talk about digital equity, the conversation often focuses on providing opportunities for all students to learn in an increasingly connected world. We talk about devices and home connectivity. We talk the importance of parental support. We talk about training all educators to integrate digital tools in their classrooms in meaningful ways. Seldom, though, does the conversation focus on ensuring that parents acquire the same skills we want for our students.

Over the years I have received many requests for 'paid blog posts' asking me to promote this product or that particular program. I can honestly say I have always turned them down. While I could make money by doing so, I've always posted about those products I have personally used, and about those issues that personally care about.

“Do you have a moment to check something out in the boiler room?” our custodian asked me the other day. We walked down the hallway, opened the door, and found a cross-cut of a tree trunk on the cement floor. It was as wide as a small table. The bark had been stripped off.
