Abstract
Planning educators are increasingly using technology in city and regional planning programs. This chapter covers the many ways in which planning classrooms have changed—from the expansion of online content to fully online degrees. Students and faculty are now able to more effectively engage in the challenges of cities and create plans that are responsive to community needs. This includes everything from social media, gaming, and mobile-enabled plans.
