Some fantastic ideas here for educators wanting to integrate technology!
Just created a set of 20 learning technology concept cards for colleagues, differentiated for 4 levels of educator confidence to make 80 ideas. Decided to bring them to life on Twitter- here’s number 1! #80waysin80days #60sectech #AppleEDUchat #ADE2019
