Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

"The right education technology can increase student engagement, enhance student learning, and save valuable instructional time. But with countless ed tech options available, finding the best tools isn’t easy. That’s why we’ve put together a list of our favorite ed tech apps, tools, and resources for the upcoming school year."

Today’s digital world is littered with drill and kill technology, much of it no different than a digital version of the worksheets of years past. Simply digitizing past practice serves little instructional purpose and ultimately leads to low levels of learning. These types of practices have lead to a number of studies that have indicated that purchasing more technology does not increase student learning. While these findings should be obvious, shifting the instructional pedagogy remains the key, and at the same time, a difficult task.
