There is no a Silver Bullet – Intentional Equity-Focused Technology Integration in Schools
Kimberley Gomez · Journal of Research in Science Mathematics and Technology Education · 2025
With over 30 years in education and as an early adopter of emerging technologies, Professor Emerita Gomez (UCLA) emphasizes that technology integration must go beyond being an afterthought. She argues it should intentionally embed equity within education programs and implementation plans by focusing on pedagogical equity, addressing systemic challenges at classroom, school, and district levels, and engaging in actionable strategies. As Prof. Gomez notes, there is no “silver bullet” to technology integration—only deliberate, equity-centered practice. Follow her as she illustrates what this looks like in classrooms, schools, districts, and broader curricula.
