Infographic titled "Girls & Gadgets: Navigating Technology-Enhanced Learning in IB Junior School." It summarizes study results, methods, discussions, literature, and impacts of tech on young girls’ learning, with icons and highlighted sections.

In 2024, we presented the findings from our Technology-Enhanced Learning research pilot in our Junior School at the American Psychological Association. The study aimed to better understand: (a) how teachers are implementing the use of technology in the classroom; (b) the strengths, challenges and concerns associated with technology; and (c) challenges and opportunities for increasing accessibility and equity. Our analysis used Self-Determination theory and has implications for teacher and student autonomy, competence and relatedness.
