The Anti-Tech Backlash: Intentional Use of EdTech for Student Learning Outcomes


Technology skepticism in education is real, and it's worth taking seriously. In this session, we'll move past the debate and into practice, exploring what intentional EdTech use looks like when it's designed around student learning outcomes, not the tool itself. Drawing on UDL principles and real classroom workflows, we'll walk through how educators and district leaders can build a technology philosophy centered on access, visibility, and student voice, with practical examples you can use right away.

We’ll see these principles in action via Kami Companion, creating inclusive experiences that respect every learner’s brilliance.
