In today’s fast-paced digital world, integrating technology into the classroom is no longer optional; it’s essential. Yet, many educators find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer variety of tools and strategies available. Whether you’re an early childhood educator introducing young learners to the basics of technology, a primary school teacher navigating blended learning, or a secondary teacher aiming to enhance subject-specific instruction, the challenges can feel daunting.

Uncertainty About Best Practices: With so many digital tools available, how do you know which ones are effective and align with learning goals?
-
Limited Support: Technology integration often feels isolating, with few opportunities to collaborate with colleagues or seek guidance.
