Some educators see technology in the classroom as the bright and shiny thing that will keep students engaged. Others believe so strongly in the use of texts that they eschew the use of electronics in education.

But it doesn’t have to be one or the other, says Kristin Ziemke. This Apple Distinguished Educator believes it’s more important to balance both text and tech—it’s all in the navigation.

Join Ziemke Feb. 11 at 8 p.m. ET for the next #ILAchat on Twitter for her perspective on transferring modeling, scaffolding, and other best practices into the digital learning environment.

Ziemke is a teacher and staff developer. She is the coauthor of Amplify: Digital Teaching and Learning in the K–6 Classroom (Heinemann) and Connecting Comprehension and Technology (Heinemann).

Follow #ILAchat and @ILAtoday at 8 p.m. ET Feb. 11 to join the conversation about how to find a place for both traditional text and technology.
