YPO and Innovate My School have joined forces to build EdTech Impact, an independent free school–led marketplace that provides a candid view of which tools are performing well across different school demographics. It gives you a bird’s eye view of the EdTech products you need to know about, with evidence mapped to the impact outcomes that you care about the most.
Here are five top primary EdTech tools that have impact evidence at their heart:
4. Champion, train, implement and embed
EdTech must be implemented well in order for sustained impact to happen. EdTech companies will often provide training, but having an internal champion who can effect change at leadership level, as well ensuring the EdTech tool is woven into continued professional development is key to seeing results and getting value. And develop a plan. A plan that also considers existing pedagogy, and how the EdTech product will integrate and add value.
5. Evaluate efficacy and repeat
Value for money as well as impact is imperative for schools right now. Many EdTech tools are now online subscriptions. This means that annually, or after an initial term you have an opportunity to truly evaluate value for money and impact, as well as do another cursory check of the market to see what else is out there. At renewal time, it’s also a good chance to make sure that your champion is still in place, and that any refresher training is conducted for new members of staff.
