Power-Up Book Study: EdTech Essentials in the Age of AI by Monica Burns

Mon. September 29, 2025 | 8:00 am - Fri. October 31, 2025 | 4:30 pm CDT

Give your edtech skills and knowledge a “1-Up” in this gamified book study where your contributions always add to the conversation. Designed like a video game, this self-paced experience lets you level up by reading, completing hands-on challenges, and submitting artifacts – all while earning PD credit and unlocking exclusive digital gear for your personalized avatar.

During this study, we’ll read “EdTech Essentials: 12 Strategies for Every Classroom in the Age of AI (Second Edition)” by Monica Burns. Choose your own adventure through the book by completing up to three levels, each worth 2 PD credits (for a total of up to 6 PD credits). At each level, you’ll showcase your learning by reflecting on what you’ve read and completing activities from a choice board.

Want to boost your XP? Join two optional virtual meetups for live discussions, bonus rewards, and extra PD credit. Wrap up your quest with a live Q&A featuring Monica Burns herself! Earn 1 PD credit per virtual event, for up to 3 additional credits. That’s up to 9 PD credits total for completing all levels and attending all virtual events.
