"These guidelines offer a set of concrete suggestions that can be applied to any discipline or domain to ensure that all learners can access and participate in meaningful, challenging learning opportunities." 

"Good technology integration isn’t about living at the top of the SAMR model; it’s about being aware of the range of options and picking the right strategy—or strategies—for the lesson at hand."

Teach digital citzenship with lessons from Common Sense Education:

"All students need digital citizenship skills to participate fully in their communities and make smart choices online and in life."

Get creative with Chrome Music Lab:

"It’s simple to use and its main aim is to allow visitors to explore sound and create with sound. Each experiment is super-useful for introducing or reinforcing a music/sound concept. I love the idea of using it as a starting point for a topic – a springboard activity which is followed by the rest of your lesson or unit of work.”

Have students collaborate with Adobe Express: 

"In a classroom where students feel valued and heard, students tend to take more academic risks, students become more collaborative, and will foster positive relationships with their peers. Students who feel welcome will take more ownership of their school environment and their learning."

Develop critical thinking through coding projects with Scratch:

"Scratch is the world’s largest coding community for children... that allows young people to create digital stories, games, and animations. Scratch promotes computational thinking and problem solving skills; creative teaching and learning; self-expression and collaboration; and equity in computing."

Flip gives students choices for how they communicate their ideas:

"Flip is a video discussion app... where curious minds connect, share short videos, and build community."
