Rethinking Tech in the Classroom

Education is shifting, and classrooms are feeling it. As conversations grow about limiting screen time and increasing paper-and-pencil learning, many educators are asking the same question: What comes next?

In this episode, we unpack the latest conversations in education around screen time and explain why this shift is actually an opportunity to bring back the art of teaching. Instead of relying on devices to drive engagement, we explore how intentional lesson and unit design, paired with multiple learning pathways, create deeper understanding, stronger engagement, and more accessible learning for all students.

This conversation is grounded in real classrooms and real teaching. It’s not about eliminating technology or adding another initiative. It’s about designing learning experiences that meet students where they are, whether that’s through discussion, movement, storytelling, hands-on learning, or visual thinking.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why limiting screen time can strengthen instruction

The role of paper-pencil learning in deeper thinking

How to bring the art of teaching back into lesson design

Using learning pathways to support diverse learners

Small instructional shifts that create big impact

Teaching isn’t automated. It’s intentional. And when screens step back, teaching steps forward.
