### The discussion

Secondary SAMR – The edtech discussion resumes as WELSTech welcomes back ***Doctor** *Rachel Renno, Director of Academic Computing for [Martin Luther College](https://mlc-wels.edu), and Jason Schmidt, Director of Technology for [Oshkosh (WI) Area School District](https://www.oshkosh.k12.wi.us/). Today’s topic, secondary tech integration, relates to our season-long look at the [SAMR framework for education technology integration](https://www.edutopia.org/article/powerful-model-understanding-good-tech-integration), as we consider how best to engage and differentiate secondary education to prepare students at this level for the project-based demands of the working world.

Spoiler alert: the “C” word (change) is part of the solution.
