As the years go by with teaching, we become well-versed with new pedagogical techniques, but we also sometimes rely on what has always worked. In fact, many of our classes from year to year follow the same or very similar structure with the same assignments. This includes how we teach content, how we engage our students with content, and how we assess their learning -- think Universal Design for Learning (UDL). The only difference in our teaching may be different students.
The thing is, as the students change year to year, so do their lived experiences and their access to technology. Even as veteran teachers, there are times when we should apply new tools to our existing curriculum.
