Classroom Technology

Technology in a classroom is neither the transformation vendors promise nor the distraction critics describe. Some categories deliver reliably — adaptive practice, cheap frequent assessment, access to content. Many deliver very little. A few actively cost attention.

These articles try to tell them apart: what each category of tool is genuinely good at, how to evaluate one before committing a class to it, what to ask about student data, and why digital fluency and digital literacy are not the same thing. See the Classroom Technology Guide for the full framework.
