Who Decides if Ed Tech Even Works
Educators today are eager for solutions that have long seemed elusive to age-old challenges in education, including a widening achievement gap between our highest and lowest performers. Education technology will be part of the solution. If we commit to systemic and rigorous evaluation, we may find that certain technologies can truly help make massive inroads in technology.
