Title: Equity in Educational Technology
Description: In education we need to be committed to ensuring our efforts reflect the needs of our classrooms and schools, as well as equity and inclusion. How can we leverage technology to reach our goals? Come learn with us on how to navigate this landscape and how it can be possible. Attendees will learn about the intersectionality of equity and educational technology. New ideas and strategies that attendees will learn include vetting digital platforms and resources through an anti-racist lens, what an educator should look for when searching for equitable technology and technology platforms, the potential dangers of not checking a resource before you give it to students, the importance of student choice and voice, and the importance of elevating women and people of color in curriculum, among others. Attendees will also create or modify pre-existing or future lessons to incorporate technology with the purpose of making classrooms, lessons, and curriculum anti-racist. Ideally, attendees will use the strategies that are given in this session or will discover strategies of their own that may work in their classrooms.
