School districts invest heavily in educational technology to improve student success and outcomes. Providing teachers and students with access to a variety of learning tools and digital curriculum resources creates more engaging, relevant, and accessible learning experiences. However, digital transformation can’t happen if these products don’t work well together. In this workshop, learn about the work being done by leading districts and member organizations to enable interoperability across hundreds of products to maximize a district’s return on investment in learning. Participants will discover practical and sustainable ways to engage edtech vendors and evolve your digital ecosystems. Then, go more in-depth with the district-focused resources that can help achieve a revolutionary learning impact for all students.
