Edtech By Design

COVID19 ILLUMINATED DEFICITS IN APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY ACROSS THE WORLD. ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES DURING THE MASSIVE TECHNOLOGY INFUSION DURING COVID 19 SCHOOL CLOSURES WAS THE LACK OF TRAINING EDUCATORS HAD IN NOT JUST USING TECHNOLOGY BUT EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY. EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY MUST INCORPORATE SPECIFIC PEDAGOGY THAT EMBRACES COLLABORATION, COMMUNICATION, PROJECT BASED LEARNING, AND OTHER PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES. EDTECH BY DESIGN OFFERS A NEW MODEL OF INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY FROM PRE K THRU HIGHER EDUCATION THAT COMBINES TPACK (TECHNOLOGICAL, PEDAGOGICAL, AND CONTENT KNOWLEDGE) THE TRIPLE E FRAMEWORK, AND A SIMPLIFIED INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN MODEL (ID). EDTECH BY DESIGN OFFERS PRE AND IN SERVICE EDUCATORS ASYNCHRONOUS AND SYNCHRONOUS MICRO COURSES ON INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY USING THE TRIPLE E FRAMEWORK AND SIMPLIFIED INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN. EDTECH'S GLOBAL COLLABORATION PROJECT CONNECTED A SCHOOL IN THE MID ATLANTIC TO A SCHOOL IN NEW DELHI, INDIA. THE STUDENTS FOUND WAYS TO IMPROVE AGRICULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY AND THEIR IDEAS LED TO NEW WAYS OF COMPOSTING, LEARNING ABOUT APIARIES, AND EXCHANGING IDEAS ON HARVESTING. EDTECH BY DESIGN CAN HELP OTHER SCHOOLS GET CONNECTED GLOBALLY. EDTECH BY DESIGN DESIGNED A SUMMER PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, ENCOURAGING THE STUDENTS TO TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT. THE PILOT OF THIS PROGRAM WILL KICK OFF IN 2023.
