S1 E8 – Does Technology Have a Place in the Classroom with Tom Button

Does Technology Have a Place in the Classroom with Tom Button

Join us as we discuss the role of technology in the classroom.

In this episode, we are joined by Tom Button @MathsTechnology to discuss the role of technology in the classroom. We explore how technology can benefit both students and teachers when introduced appropriately and the difference between simply using technology and integrating it effectively into lessons. Topics include the current state of technology in primary education, strategies for improving teaching with technology and taking small steps to achieve success. We also highlight useful tools like Desmos, GeoGebra, and Flipgrid (now Flip!), along with frameworks like the SAMR model for effective tech integration.
