It can be easy to forget, especially as shiny new edtech tools seem to drop each day.
But instructional technology educator @mrsuteachestech.bsky.social shares a reminder: Adding *more* tech tools doesn’t promise better learning. 🧰

Students will analyze this ancient Phoenician stone manifest as part of Operation Purple Tide.
Students will have some help from this transcription sheet in deciphering the stone manifest for Operation Purple Tide.
Once successful in deciphering the stone manifest, a new challenge unlocks to discover as much as possible about Byblos.
When @lemanskyrachel.bsky.social talks you up but you feel like you’ve coasted this year, you create brand new missions and elements to use. The week before April break will have plenty of storyline and gamified elements, starting with Operation Purple Tide. #EduSky
