Objectives
*Tell the audience about research that ISTE does + share related insights
*Provide ideas for improving interoperability and product procurement, including effective data privacy
*Demonstrate how the Index can help you find, compare, and select products
Known information + assets
*Findings from research activities - good to show how we work with practitioners and learn from them
*Coalition has a wide-angle lens on edtech management; School districts found the holes in existing processes related to data management, privacy, interoperability, etc. when they did the assessment
*The new SoA process is more rigorous, raising the bar for edtech product providers to build better products for teachers and students.
*Toolkit + CoM scenarios that show how science is the foundation of product quality
*Index with functionality that will help you see what products meet ISTE standards with badges, interoperability and data privacy specs, and allows you to compare and contrast edtech products that have been submitted to the Index.
Activities
*A short scoring exercise where we take a piece of the TR framework and ask attendees to score an exemplar product like BrainPOP (15 minutes)
*A Product Index demo where we have attendees choose three products that their schools and districts currently use; we could have them compare and contrast against products they are actively thinking of switching too, or replace. (15 minutes)
