Using Evidence to Support Effective EdTech Selection and Implementation Decisions

Why do some edtech tools work well in one district but fail in another? The answer lies not necessarily in the tool itself, but in the context in which it is used. More often than not, districts fail to consider contextual factors in a systematic way. The EdTech Context Inventory (CI) is a validated survey that measures 10 factors affecting edtech implementation success in a district's edtech environment. This survey provides vital evidence that districts need to make informed decisions. In this session, participants will learn how districts can easily integrate these 10 factors into systematic edtech decision-making practices and/or research.
