EDLD 5315:
Creating Significant Learning Environments
Dr. Kelly Grogan | Spring 2025
By focusing on learning as a first priority, the learning will drive the selection, implementation, and application of technology within the learning environment. This focus allows technology to be put into its proper place where it enhances learning as opposed to a directive tool that can potentially limit learning.
