In this episode we welcome back Dr. Matt Rhoads to discuss the landscape of technology in education today.  With the disruption of Covid, teachers and students found themselves forced into a technological landscape of online and hybrid learning.  Will K-12 leaders use this experience as a springboard to innovate new pedagogies that formally and thoughtfully integrate technology and hybrid learning experiences into the curriculum, or will the pendulum swing back towards "normal"?
