Paper, Pencils, and AI: Putting the Ed Back into Ed Tech

Educators are weighing the benefits of ed tech against growing concerns about the impact of screentime on students. But ed tech doesn’t need to be an all-or-nothing decision.

In this edLeader Panel, Amanda VanDerHeyden, Ph.D., will discuss the importance of paper and pencil activities for learning and reducing screentime while leveraging the immense power of technology to help educators deliver effective instruction. Tune in to learn:

• How paper-based activities support working memory, reduce cognitive overload, and build stronger problem-solving and reasoning skills
• Strategic uses for technology, including automating many of the time-consuming and challenging parts of a teacher’s day, like data-based decision making
• What AI can and cannot do for educators
• Why technology is the right tool to drive implementation science in classrooms

Join us to learn how to strike the right balance between paper-based learning and purposeful technology use so you can put AI and other technology tools to work where they matter most: giving educators time back and helping every student get the instruction they deserve.

This edLeader Panel will be of interest to elementary through high school teachers, school and district leaders, and curriculum and instruction leaders.
