Pedagogy First. Technology Second.
Transforming Elementary Classrooms
from Consumers to Creators

Elementary educators require a unique approach. Stop the "Whack-a-Mole" approach to EdTech and start building sustainable systems of inquiry and agency. My sessions empower educators using the Essential 5 Cs of Communicating Ideas: Clickable, Choice, Curation, Collaboration, and Connection.

Foundations of Digital Literacy

The TannenbaumTech Difference:

Why schools choose TannenbaumTech for professional learning.

1. We Don't Just Talk. We Build. Attendees never leave empty-handed.

All sessions include access to ready-to-use templates (Choice Boards, Curation Charts), custom "Edurubricons," and step-by-step guides to ensure implementation starts the very next day.

2. Tested in Real Classrooms.

Unlike consultants who have been out of the classroom for years, Debbie tests every strategy in real schools before sharing it. This ensures professional development is practical, realistic, and empathy-driven.

3. Pedagogy First, Technology Second.

We stop the "app-chasing." Every session focuses on the learning goal first—whether it's mathematical discourse or student agency—and then selects the "just right" tool to support it.
