Balancing Tech and Teaching with Monica Burns

from Teach Smarter Hosted by Stephanie Dinnen and Pete Siner

In this episode, we sit down with Monica Burns to talk about the real role of technology in today’s classrooms. We look at how teachers can bring AI and other digital tools into their instruction without losing sight of what matters most—teaching, learning, and student engagement. Monica shares practical strategies for using technology to support great pedagogy rather than replace it, and we explore how educators can make thoughtful decisions about new tools without getting overwhelmed. It’s a conversation about keeping innovation grounded in what works for kids and teachers.
