We spoke to 2 expert panelists, Dr. MaryFriend Shepard and George Engel, about a recent report commissioned by Walden University's Richard W. Riley College of Education & Leadership. The report dispels five myths about educators use of technology. Take a listen to get some great tips about how you can begin to use technology in your classroom, access technology-centric professional development courses and engage in conversations around technology with your school administrators.

 

To learn even more you can read the report that inspired the conversation: Educators, Technology and 21st Century Skills: Dispelling Five Myths.
