“We are still putting out fires”: Considering educator intentionality in remote instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 Pandemic affected P-12 educators around the world, including an emergency move to remote instruction, inclusion of new technology tools to teach at a distance, and in many cases technology mandates for instruction. In the present study, we examine educators’ self-reported survey responses about technology use during face to face and online instruction during the COVID-19 Pandemic. We use SAMR, a framework used to understand degrees of technology integration in teaching, as a way to interpret educators’ responses and consider the ways that educators reported their use of technology in their face to face and online teaching.
