Technology is not our foe. When leveraged as a tool, technology can help to remove barriers and improve access to grade-level content, make things more efficient for us as educators, and even fun!
We know technology is rapidly changing and just when you dive into the latest app, the next best thing is in focus.
This course will lay the groundwork for how to create an accessible space for all learners in workspaces such as Google Suite and/or Microsoft Office. Then we will dive into the latest apps, websites, and extensions (yes, AI too!) to allow for more voice and choice in the classroom, improve engagement, and increase accessibility for all our learners.
Our goal is that when you complete this course you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how to boost student success - by clicking with tech :-)

Our students love us
The content was understandable and showed the importance of how to engage all students and their learning types, as well as how to overcome learning challenges.
I really loved how this course focused on the "how" for UDL practices and providing access to students.
There are so many wonderful examples of apps that can be used to improve student engagement and learning. I cannot wait to get started!

I appreciated the technology applications with succint videos on how to apply these to my students.
We as teachers have to experiment with technology while not wasting a year on failed attempts. Quick tries on applications with short learning curves is inviting and so helpful!
