Digital Touchpoints

 

Digital Touchpoints will be released twice yearly, featuring the results of University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point undergraduate teacher education students’ literature review research and critical thinking about digital pedagogy and digitally-mediated teaching and learning in contemporary P-12 education settings. This informal journal serves as a “legacy assignment” that will be passed down for future groups of students who enroll in the “Educational Technology” course taught by Dr. Aaron R. Gierhart.
