A conversation with Michelle Williams, the ignitED teacher about technology adoption in schools and how digital devices in the classroom are essential to close achievement gaps. In our 30-minute conversation, we discussed:

• Why technology shouldn't be seen as a distraction, but rather a necessity

• What the benefit of putting students into their teacher's shoes are

• How Michelle succeeds in getting the devices she needed for students

• And what suggestions Michelle has for teachers who have so far avoided technology
