ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Wi-Fi down? App crashing mid-lesson? Projector bulb out five minutes before presentations? We've all been there.
In this episode of Schoolwide Download, hosts Dave Clark and Robin Szary keep it real with stories of technology fails in the classroom—and the strategies that help you bounce back with confidence.
You'll learn how to: ✅ Build a classroom culture of flexibility when tech glitches happen ✅ Create backup plans so learning never stops ✅ Involve students in troubleshooting (they might surprise you!) ✅ Use humor and calm to keep the focus on connection, not perfection
💡 Try This Tomorrow: Build a "Plan B Board" with your students—quick backup ideas for when tech doesn't cooperate. From paper exit tickets to AI-generated prompts, it's a simple way to build resilience and keep learning moving forward.
Remember: it's not about the glitch—it's about how you handle it.
