Technological devices are being embedded as education tools in schools everywhere. It’s possible to overcome the fear of these devices and apps and incorporate them as instruments to serve educators, parents, and student learning. Lee Kolbert offers practical advice for using technology in healthy ways to engage everyone, deepen learning, and bridge the home and school technical divide.
