Is screen time adding real value to your lessons? The VATT framework encourages asking if tech lets you: Do More (increase efficiency) Do Better (strengthen impact) Do New (enable innovation) If it’s not adding value, maybe skip the screen! myemail.constantcontact.com/---ITEC-Sept... #itecia

The Problem: Loudest voices dominate, quieter learners stay passive. The Pivot: Silent processing first! Use paper "Graffiti Walls" or digital boards like Padlet so 100% of students contribute before speaking up. 📝💡 myemail.constantcontact.com/---ITEC-Sept... #itecia

💡 Built-In Headings Matter! Visual formatting alone (bolding, resizing) doesn't help screen readers. To make content truly accessible: ✅ Use native heading tools (H1, H2, H3) ✅ Maintain logical hierarchy ❌ Don't skip levels or underline myemail.constantcontact.com/---ITEC-Sept... #itecia
