EdTech Standards of Evidence - Teachers
It is important for teachers to look at the evidence for the impact of new EdTech products before using them in their classroom because not all technology is effective in improving student learning. Using technology that has not been shown to be effective can be a waste of time and resources, and can also potentially harm student learning. By looking at the evidence, teachers can determine if a product has been shown to be effective in similar educational contexts, and can make an informed decision about whether or not to use the product in their own classroom. This FREE course will introduce you to the key research concepts that underpin the EdTech Standards of Evidence.
