How do we make tech processes easier for students—and teachers—to follow? In this episode, I chat with Courtney Watson from friEdTechnology about strategies for creating clear, bite-sized tech instructions using tools like Scribe, iorad, Canva, and Adobe Express. We explore ways to lower the cognitive load and boost confidence in tech-rich classrooms. Plus, I share new feature updates in Book Creator, Padlet, and NotebookLM that support accessibility, flexibility, and efficiency. #EduDuctTape Episode 125 0:00:00 INTRO 0:02:59 Today's Guest: Courtney Watson Courtney is a Google Certified Educator/Trainer and Lead Learning Guide at friEdTechnology.
