Is your EdTech earning its keep? Many institutions are still asking this question — and it’s not because teachers don’t know how technology works. The issue is more fundamental — and more overlooked. Most educators are unsure how to integrate EdTech into the teaching sequence in a way that genuinely improves learning. This is a pedagogical gap, not a technical one. The TPACK framework helps explain why. Effective use of technology happens only when teachers bring together technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge — using the right tech, in the right way, for the right content. That’s where the HOW2 Platform comes in: an EdTech tool designed to show educators how to embed technology effectively within evidence-based teaching techniques — putting technology within the teaching sequence, not alongside it. When pedagogy leads, technology starts to deliver on its promise. 👉 Read TeachingHOW2s CEO Ian Harris’s new Insight piece on how TPACK helps institutions get more value from their EdTech investments 🔍 https://ow.ly/aGI050X9HS6 #TPACK #EdTech #teachingandlearning Ian Harris, BA (Hons), PGCE

💭 Rethinking Education in the Age of Digital Transformation The future of learning isn’t about replacing classrooms — it’s about expanding them. At EdTech Lab, we believe that digital learning is not just a trend; it’s a new ecosystem where institutions, professionals, and learners co-create knowledge. Online MBAs, micro-credentials, and AI-driven learning paths are redefining what a curriculum can be — flexible, personal, and borderless. The question is no longer “Can we learn online?” It’s “How do we make online learning meaningful, measurable, and human?” That’s the challenge we’re solving every day. 🔗 www.edtech-lab.com #ThoughtLeadership #EdTech #OnlineLearning #FutureOfEducation #DigitalTransformation

Excited to Share My Latest Research Publication! https://lnkd.in/dXMYjrpi I’m thrilled to announce that my paper titled “Synchronized Adoption Framework to Overcome Barriers in EdTech Implementation” has been published in the International Journal for Multidisciplinary Research (IJFMR). This research explores how educators, parents, and policymakers can collaboratively overcome structural and behavioural challenges in implementing EdTech, paving the way for more inclusive and equitable digital learning. Grateful for this opportunity to contribute to the evolving dialogue on educational innovation and digital transformation in teaching and learning. 🌍📘 #EdTech #DigitalLearning #EducationalInnovation #Research #Publication #Education #DigitalTransformation

Strategically integrating EdTech is not about replacement, but enhancement. The goal is a powerful synergy between educator expertise and digital tools. The full analysis on building this future-proof framework is coming soon. #EdTechStrategy #FutureOfLearning #DigitalTransformation #HigherEdLeadership #K12Leadership #EducationalConsulting #GenZ #StudentEngagement #LearningAndDevelopment #InstructionalDesign #EdTech #FutureOfEducation #DigitalTransformation

As K-12 educators, we are constantly navigating a crowded edtech landscape. The temptation is to adopt every new tool that promises innovation. However, true innovation comes from a thoughtful approach. The most successful edtech integrations are those that directly support a lesson's learning objectives, not simply substitute a paper-based activity with a digital one. This is the core principle of models like SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) and TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge). Actionable Tip: Before selecting a tool, identify the specific learning goal. Are you looking for a tool for collaboration, content delivery, or assessment? Choose the tool that best meets that need, and don't be afraid to leave a tool behind if it's not delivering on its promise. In fact, a 2019 report noted that about two-thirds of district administrators have stopped using an edtech tool because it did not improve student learning outcomes. Let's learn from that data and be more intentional in our choices. #EdTech #ActiveLearning #ResponsibleTechnologyUse

✨ Attended Webinar on Effective EdTech Tools for Teachers ✨ I had the opportunity to attend an insightful session conducted by Redinc Academy, led by Rasna Hussain and Rumaiza Mohamed. The webinar introduced us to a range of effective EdTech tools that can make teaching and learning more interactive, engaging, and impactful. 💡 Key takeaway: A standout insight from the session was the concept of a 3-tool EdTech stack for teachers, consisting of: A tool for class management A subject-specific tool A tool for assessment and feedback This framework supports efficient teaching, encourages active learning, and makes lessons more engaging and impactful. I'm curious to hear from other educators in my network: What are the three non-negotiable tools in your own EdTech stack? Share your thoughts below! Technology, when used purposefully, can truly transform the learning experience and empower both educators and students. #Edtech #education #Professionaldevolopment #webinar #Teachers

🌐 Exploring the Power of EdTech in Education ✨ I had the opportunity to attend an insightful EdTech2 webinar led by Rasna Hussain and Rumaiza Mohamed, which focused on how technology can enhance and transform modern teaching and learning experiences. The session offered valuable takeaways on creating more interactive, engaging, and student-centered classrooms through effective use of EdTech tools. It was truly an enriching experience that emphasized the importance of innovation and continuous growth in education. Grateful to the speakers for sharing such practical strategies and inspiration that can empower educators to integrate digital tools more effectively in their classrooms. #EdTech #DigitalEducation #InnovativeTeaching #ProfessionalGrowth #EducationInnovation #21stCenturyLearning #ContinuousImprovement

We keep chasing innovation in education. But most of what we chase isn’t new innovation in teaching. It’s new tools. Remember the promises? • MOOCs were going to democratise higher education. • Smartboards were going to make lessons interactive. • Learning-management dashboards were going to personalise progress. • Chatbots are now sold as on-demand tutors. Each was launched as a breakthrough. Each mostly reproduced the same lecture/textbook model, only in digitalized form.   It is a never-ending cycle of: New devices New media enhanced textbooks New learning systems   None of which has improved learning.   Innovation should be adopted at the speed teaching practice can actually use it. That means a clear purpose, measurable learning gain, and purpose-driven use, integrated into the learning design. Not just the interface. #BeyondTheTextbook #LearningNotGadgets #LearningDesign #CriticalThinkingInEd #PedagogyFirst
