Design at the Core: Aligning Tech with the Portrait of a Graduate

The Jordan School District’s Teaching & Learning department is proud to produce the Jordan Journey podcast. The Jordan Journey is a monthly education podcast featuring teacher stories from across the Jordan School District in Utah.

Over of the course of this episode, we discuss the following questions:

• There’s a new idea in education called the "Digital Design Divide." Can you explain what this means in simple terms and why it’s a big deal for our district right now?
• What scaffolds and tools help teachers the most when it comes to digital design and their own proficiency with digital tools and teaching with technology?
• Schools are using thousands of educational tech tools, which can be overwhelming. How can school leaders figure out which tools actually work and are worth the investment, instead of just adding more clutter for teachers and students?

Don’t forget to listen to our 🏁🏎️💨 “Pitstop” 🏁🏎️💨 segment where we shout-out something awesome happening in Jordan School District.
