"A Tooty Ta... A Tooty Ta.... A Tooty Ta Ta...." fills the room and the sense of joy, fun, and learning ensues.
Digital resources can be found in many classrooms today. But, how are we using them as educators? Are we maximizing and harnessing technology to its fullest potential? Do we limit technology to games, videos, and Blended Learning mandates? Share your experiences in the comments section below.

In my classroom, I use technology to support instruction (ie. Tier 1, blended learning). However, I also use technology to facilitate brain breaks. As we see technology such h as AI being used in upper grade levels (ie. High schools) I wonder what implications this may have for primary students. Will students be required to take computer classes to build fluency in technology skills? How will technology change the landscape of education? How will educators be prepared to navigate these changes?
Thanks, Trevor. Your questions are valid and prompt me to explore how primary students are prepared to take computer-based tests and the impact it has on test scores. This has been an argument among many primary teachers. How can we prepare students for computer-based testing when the assumption is that they are too young or the tasks are too difficult for young students? Should there be a curriculum or should the primary teacher teach basic computer skills? You asked great questions.
