How Pandemic Tech Use Is Shaping K-12 Education. Technology Counts, 2021. Education Week. Volume 40, Issue 30
Education Week
During the past year, teachers have pushed their technology skills to the next level, improving their understanding of how to use learning management systems effectively; integrating digital curricula, online assessments, and interactive games into learning; and upgrading their skills for using modern communication tools such as Zoom. This new technological landscape in K-12 raises serious questions. How will schools integrate digital devices into teaching and learning? What lessons learned from remote and hybrid learning will shape curriculum and instruction? This issue provides answers to those and other questions in this year's annual Technology Counts report, which features exclusive survey data from the EdWeek Research Center. Articles in this issue include: (1) Editor's Note: Technology & the Pandemic--What's Next for Schools (Kevin Bushweller); (2) During COVID-19, Schools Have Made a Mad Dash to 1-to-1 Computing (Alyson Klein); (3) How to Make Teaching Better: 8 Lessons Learned from Remote and Hybrid Learning (Sarah Schwartz); (4) 'A Year of Tremendous Growth.' How the Pandemic Forced Teachers to Master Technology (Alyson Klein); (5) Cyberattacks Are on the Rise. Here's How Schools Should Respond (Downloadable Guide) (Mark Lieberman and Gina Tomko); (6) Most Students Now Have Home Internet Access. But What About the Ones Who Don't? (Mark Lieberman); (7) Schools Are Flush With Stimulus Money. Will They Waste It on Unproven Technology? (Benjamin Herold); and (8) How Teachers and Curriculum Will Shape Ed Tech's Future: A CEO Makes the Case (Larry Berger).
