Resource Spotlight: Bridges EdTech Integration Action Plan

Posted on 11/20/2025

If you’re looking for a clear, practical way to build digital skills into your classroom or program, the Bridges Digital Resilience Toolkit: EdTech Integration Action Plan is a great place to start.

This easy-to-use guide walks adult education instructors through each step of integrating digital skills into instruction. It helps you:

  • Reflect on your learners: their strengths, needs, and any potential barriers to engagement
  • Pinpoint which digital skills domains you want to focus on
  • Choose an instructional approach that works for your context, whether that’s
    • Explicit digital skills instruction
    • Integrating digital skills into existing activities
    • Teaching them in context within other subject areas
    • Or blending all three

The guide also includes planning tools, resources, and activities to support your work. In the final section, you’ll bring everything together in an action plan that outlines your target skills, instructional actions (like EdTech routines, lessons, or projects), timelines, resources, and key considerations for implementation.

Whether you’re preparing for a single lesson or designing a plan for an entire program, this resource can help you move forward with intentional, meaningful digital integration.
