As we  \nconsidered this topic, one of the individuals who came to mind almost instantly was Kristin  \nZiemke ([https://www.kristinziemke.com/](https://www.kristinziemke.com/))—an educator who has done so much to create  \nbridges in this global community and helped lead us all on our digital journey.  \nZiemke, a longtime kindergarten and first-grade teacher, is an educator in Chicago schools for  \nthe Big Shoulders Fund, where she serves as Learning Innovation Specialist. Having received  \nvarious awards during her teaching career, she has been recognized for her own innovative  \nefforts, making her kindergarten classroom one-to-one with iPads—at a time when no app store  \neven existed to provide teachers digital tool options.  \nShe opened the digital doors for her students, and Apple officials would visit to see what new  \ndevelopments were taking place in her classroom with their devices.  \nMuch has happened since then, in the digital world and in Ziemke’s teaching world, as well. The  \nauthor of two books, Amplify: Digital Teaching and Learning in the K-6 Classroom and  \nConnecting Comprehension and Technology, she now travels around the globe sharing her  \ninsights into implementation of technology into the curriculum in a way that is impactful—a  \nword that arises throughout conversations with her. Technology just as a fun approach is  \nmeaningless; it needs to have impact on students’ learning. She’s also broadening her own  \nPublished by New Prairie Press, 1  \nEducational Considerations, Vol. 45, No. 1 [2019], Art. 3  \nperspective by seeing technology in action globally—ideas that she brings back to her own  \nclassroom and her own research.  \nShe is quick to point out that, while she has been involved in a variety of projects regarding  \ntechnology, she has many more stops to make along her own digital journey.  \n“My passion right now is looking at next practices for learners,” she said,“how we can use  \nmobile devices and digital tools to connect back to what we know about best practice teaching","cbCaiefatNgmsDVT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiefatNgmsDVT","pdf",543480,"English","# Key Conversations\n## Issue theme: Teaching and Learning in a Global Community\n## Kristin Ziemke’s digital learning approach\n## Technology impact on students’ learning\n## Mobile devices, digital tools, and best-practice teaching\n## Chicago Public Schools reading practices and results","[{\"question\":\"What is the issue theme discussed in Educational Considerations?\",\"answer\":\"The issue theme highlights teaching and learning in an ever more connected global environment and how to prepare students to thrive in that environment.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is Kristin Ziemke in the article?\",\"answer\":\"Kristin Ziemke is described as an educator and long-time kindergarten and first-grade teacher in Chicago schools, serving as a Learning Innovation Specialist at the Big Shoulders Fund.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article define the purpose of using technology in learning?\",\"answer\":\"Technology is framed as meaningful only when it has impact on students’ learning, not as technology for its own sake.\"}]","Kristin Ziemke: Digital Learning Can Turn Students into Agents of Change Around the Globe - Article 3 - 2019 | PDF",1792093668,25]
