Dr. Monica Burns is a former teacher, Ed-Tech consultant, Apple Distinguished Educator, author and founder of classtechtips.com Monica is passionate about preparing kids for a future world where they need to think critically. One way she does this is by supporting deeper, more meaningful learning using technology. In this episode we discussed the technological changes that have happened in schools over the years. What happens when, in less than a decade, the tools that are used change dramatically? How do schools keep up? How can we use technology as a learning tool? Monica shares a plethora of her favourite digital tools for learning and addresses questions from listeners; In a world where we are so digitally connected and have so much information at our fingertips, how will this access to information impact the traditional school structure? A structure where school and teachers were previously recognized as the gatekeepers of information? What does she see for the future of education and learning? Is there such a thing as too much tech? If so, how much tech is too much?

Monica will share some of her favorite tips about how we can use technology to support formative assessment to improve the learning process. Webinar Description Collecting meaningful formative assessment data and putting this information into action is a challenge for teachers at every grade level. Technology tools can make the collection and organization of formative assessment data more efficient. #FormativeTech can save instructional time, and help teachers organize data so strategic interventions can reach students in need.
