EdTech Navigator is a platform designed to help school districts rigorously evaluate and select educational technology tools. It addresses the growing problem of districts over-investing in edtech that is not effectively used or doesn’t demonstrably improve learning outcomes. The platform provides a structured framework for evaluating tools based on key indicators like safety, evidence of efficacy, inclusivity, interoperability, and usability, drawing from best practices and research. Districts can use EdTech Navigator to streamline their procurement process, identify “zombie licenses” (unused subscriptions), and ensure that their technology investments align with specific instructional goals and student needs. The platform also offers resources for professional development and guidance on how to integrate and manage edtech effectively.
