Connie White, in the newest episode of Talking Technology with ATLIS,  discusses her background and evolving role at Woodward Academy, including her viral success with remote learning preparation at her former school. She shares lessons learned from early online learning initiatives that aided the transition during COVID-19 and highlights the importance of data-driven decision-making and evolving pedagogical approaches to professional development. Additionally, hosts join the conversation to discuss the evolution of technology in education, focusing on individualized instruction, the impact of devices, and the effects of social media on youth mental health. The hosts emphasize intentional technology integration, parental involvement, the "portrait of a learner" framework, and maintaining a strong network of technology leaders to enhance student engagement and prepare for future educational challenges.
