Hello everyone! Today I have brought on one of my favorite Instagram friends, Haylee Harwick, to discuss her journey to using tech, and how she views the roles of technology in her 5th grade class! Haylee is such a fantastic resource for teachers and has some AMAZING ideas and advice for using tech in the classroom. This episode is a solid primer for anyone who is skeptical of the role of technology in the classroom, and how it could not only benefit student now, but far into the future. Major talking points in this episode are: Haylee's interest in tech How she handles technological issues when they happen Why she loves teaching it Why it is important to teach quality tech literacy in schools today  ...and much much more! Don't miss this one!       But before you go off and listen, consider supporting the podcast by grabbing a copy of Teach Me, Teacher, Life Lessons that Taught Me How to be a Better Teacher.
