What if the time students are already spending on screens isn't the enemy of literacy — but the opportunity?

This week, we sit down with Julia Rivard, founder of Shoelace Learning, to talk about what it really looks like to leverage technology in order to prioritize engagement for older striving readers.

In this episode, we get into:

• the relationship between fun and rigor
• why turning away from technology means turning away from students
• how gamification can produce authentic engagement and real learning outcomes at the same time
• the Olympics?!
