How much technology is too much?
In this episode of EdVentures in Tech, we explore AI in education, educational technology, and the growing debate over student screen time and plugged vs. unplugged learning.
Inspired by conversations from the NYS education technology conference, we take a closer look at what it really means to use technology with purpose. When does technology enhance learning? When should students put the devices away? And how can educators balance digital learning with hands-on experiences, collaboration, creativity, and meaningful human connection?
The conversation goes beyond simply asking whether students are spending "too much time on screens." Instead, we look at what students are actually doing with technology and whether those experiences are helping them think, create, communicate, collaborate, and learn.
We also discuss the latest EdTech news and trends, including the continued impact of AI in education and the changing role technology plays in teaching and learning.
Plugged vs. unplugged learning
The debate surrounding student screen time
When technology enhances learning—and when it becomes a distraction
Balancing digital learning with offline and hands-on experiences
Intentional use of instructional technology
AI's evolving role in education
Current EdTech news and trends
Takeaways from the NYS education technology conference
How educators can make thoughtful decisions about when students should be plugged in—or unplugged
Technology isn't automatically good—or bad—for learning.
The question is whether we're using it intentionally.
"Learning with instructional technology should be intentional."
The goal isn't to choose between a completely plugged-in or completely unplugged classroom. It's about knowing when technology adds value—and when it doesn't.
Because the best technology integration isn't about using more technology.
It's about using technology with purpose.
This episode is for teachers, administrators, technology coaches, instructional coaches, higher education professionals, IT staff, parents, students, education leaders, and anyone interested in AI, educational technology, and the future of learning.

(Review/Interview) The Sweet Spot of Tech Integration: Hands-On Projects to Boost Learning
https://www.edtechdigest.com/2....023/11/29/the-sweet-

Welcome to the latest episode of the GLOBAL edition of our What Matters in Edtech Series, our podcast collaboration with Bett. This podcast series is all about the things that matter in education, and how and when tech might help.

Thank you to Bett for supporting this series and to FormAssembly for supporting this episode.

What's in this episode? This episode returns to the topic of future tech and trends in education, with one big consensus point across all our guests; collaboration, emotional learning and motivation.

With many of us experiencing the fall-out of poorly designed reactive online learning, this episode provides hope that the next generation of edtech (and its pedagogical deployment) will be all about more sophisticated ways of connecting, collaborating and learning together. For this, we need to understand our intrinsic emotions and motivations as learners better. Our guests chat about social-emotional learning, the next evolution of personalised learning, and how to demand the specific benefits of "AI in education". Plus, how investment is driving innovation across the U.S, Europe and China.

Follow the conversation, share and comment using #edtechpod and #Bett2021.

Mike Lombardi has spent 20+ years at the intersection of technology and education — from Blackboard to building AWS’s EdTech vertical over the past twelve years. As a Sr. Sales Manager, he calls himself one of his team’s biggest Quick power users, and this week on Quick Witted, Katie and Mona put that to the test. How does a senior leader actually use Quick day-to-day? What changed after his team’s AI-native offsite? And what does two decades of watching EdTech evolve teach you about which tools last? Plus: Mike answers Rick Whitted’s blind question and leaves one of his own. Stay Quick, stay witty.

In this episode, Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath joins Lilla Nora Kiss to discuss myths in education, the role of effort and struggle in learning, the impact of technology and AI, and how to foster a pro-learning environment. His insights challenge conventional wisdom and offer practical advice for educators, parents, and policymakers.
