How do you choose the right digital tools for your classroom?
In Episode 2, Sophia Mavridi and Geoff Stead focus on what it really means to take a pedagogy-led approach to technology. They challenge the idea that all digital tools automatically improve learning, instead emphasising the importance of starting from clear teaching goals.
The conversation also explores how teachers can select and evaluate tools based on student needs, context, and learning outcomes. By combining practical classroom thinking with insights from large-scale digital learning platforms, the message is clear: effective digital pedagogy is not about using more technology, but about making better-informed decisions about how and why to use it.
