772 - The Pendulum Swings: EdTech’s Reckoning

Tune in to this episode of WELSTech for a lively discussion on right-sizing technology for the classroom. Our friends Jason and Rachel are back with a rubric utility, Adobe free education resources, and a sprinkling of AI as well. You'll be shouting "BINGO!" before you know it! 

The discussion

Has education gone too far with technology?  Martin and Sallie are joined by Dr. Rachel Renno from Martin Luther College and Jason Schmidt from Oshkosh ISD to discuss the growing backlash against over-digitization in classrooms. Drawing on Jared Cooney Horvath's The Digital Delusion, we explore how COVID accelerated tech adoption and why some are now calling for a return to fundamentals.
