Interoperability ROI: Maximize Your Return on Instruction
Friday, March 6 — 1:15 pm–2:05 pm
States and school districts are investing heavily in educational technology to transform the teaching and learning process and prepare students for college and career. Providing access to a wide variety of learning tools, instructional applications, and online assessments is a critical step in a district's evolution to digital. When easily integrated into daily activities, these resources can help improve student engagement, reduce administrative tasks for teachers, and provide actionable information to improve student outcomes. However, digital transformation can't happen if a district's products don't work well together. Hear from K-12 leaders collaborating—as members of 1EdTech Consortium—on interoperability initiatives that are having a learning impact on students across the Northwest and around the globe. Participants will discover practical and sustainable ways to support digital transformation and maximize the return on instruction.
