Welcome to the Baltimore Learning Logistics & Tech Tour! In this powerful presentation, Dr. Joseph Bostic, Jr., Assistant Principal at Northwood High School, Montgomery County Public Schools, delivers an inspiring message about the transformative role of technology in education—while keeping the focus on the human element.

Dr. Bostic begins by reminding us that the ultimate goal as educators is to ensure students not only graduate, but graduate on time. He stresses the importance of technology as a tool to enhance teaching and learning but emphasizes that it’s the human connection that drives student success. He shares the story of students who may feel disconnected or on the verge of giving up, highlighting the critical role of innovation and culture in schools, especially when facing challenges like teacher shortages.

Through three key principles—what students see, feel, and hear—Dr. Bostic explores how technology, when used strategically, can create an environment where students feel seen, supported, and engaged. From creating a positive school culture to using blended learning and standards-based teaching, this presentation offers actionable insights for educators to harness technology while maintaining the focus on the people it serves.

Join Dr. Bostic as he challenges us to think beyond the curriculum and explore how the right balance of technology and human connection can maximize the potential of every student.
