Description

“The technology you use impresses no one. The experience you create with it is everything.” Sean Gerety. 

For years, technology was something new that many teachers resisted. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, technology became part of their job description, and family engagement was more relevant for all students. Join our host, Rebecca Fisher, and her guest, Chandrée Gudmundson. Rebecca is an elementary school teacher. Meanwhile, Chandrée is a technology consultant with the Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools Division and has brought forward a new way of introducing technology into the classroom.

Today’s podcast focuses on technology for educators, students, and families to collectively work together to engage everyone more meaningfully. When educators encourage connection between school and home environments, more authentic conversations begin to form.
