Episode 7: Finding the balance for technology with the Tech Guy and the Teacher

In this episode guests Fred Reynolds, veteran educator, tech director, and tech coach, and Christen Ellis, middle and high school English teacher for over a decade, discuss the impact of technology. Reflecting back through the years and comparing tools, attitudes, and opportunities, Fred and Christen talk with Colleen about the importance of using technology to individualize education, ease assessment and communication, and highlight the importance of the role of the teacher. The relationship between the teacher and the tech person, and the role of the tech person as a problem-solver and obstacle-remover, is highlighted. Balance is the key, and hopefully, 2020 has shown the world that education does not have to regress, and change in the industry of education was overdue.
