Edtech isn't about more technology: it's about better purpose. This week we're joined by Stacy Hawthorne (Board Chair, CoSN) to talk about what purpose-driven digital learning really looks like in today's schools.

From unpacking CoSN's Screentime Toolkit and exploring the focus of her book-in-progress "Purposeful Technology, Powerful Learning," Stacy shares her insights. Together, we'll learn how to reframe conversations around screen use, community expectations, and meaningful edtech decision-making, putting real educator stories at the focus.
