The Power of Purposeful Edtech in the Elementary Classroom
It happens all the time. You make a purchase and sign your name with your finger, knowing that it looks nothing like your real signature. But at a store, it doesn’t really matter. Imagine, though, you’re in second or third grade, not only learning how to write but also studying English as a second language. Suddenly, every stroke and line matters. For bilingual learners at schools with 1:1 programs, edtech can either be a saving grace or yet another obstacle to an equitable education.
