Technology is everywhere--entwined in almost every part of our culture. It affects how we live, work, play, and most importantly learn.

What is an Infused Classroom? Join the conversation about this post in our Facebook Group – with a community of amazing educators.

As pandemic makes tech indispensable, its role still varies
Dive Brief: Though teachers may be eager and even required to use technology with students, especially as it has become a necessity for remote learning during the coronavirus pandemic, knowing how to effectively weave these tools into lessons to enhance digital learning may pose a challenge, Edutopia reports.One method to consider is to look at the SAMR model, which may help educators build the best plan for their needs by examining four areas: substitution, augmentation, modification and redefinition.Substitution (replacing one thing, like a physical worksheet, with a digital version) and augmentation (expanding that step by adding, for example, a hyperlink to an online video) are at the base level. Dive Insight: Every step does not need to be addressed for the SAMR model to work. The idea, rather, is to allow educators to consider to what degree a particular component of the learning experience should be improved — and how that change is accomplished.

We journey through a fallen world with many dangerous pitfalls, slippery places, and dark foes seeking to destroy our close fellowship with our Lord, but in Psalm 119, we are given a beautiful promise and an eternal truth... that God's Word is a gleaming lamp to our feet that will guide us through the darkness of this fallen world and it is a shining light to brighten the pathway we take.

Scripture is our secure guidebook to return us into a right relationship with the Lord when we abandon the road of righteousness or stray from the path of peace.
