Why is there so Little Research on Ed Tech?

We all want the same thing – efficacious solutions at scale that support teachers and students. A key component of that goal is knowing that the solution works and yet very little good quality little research is done to support districts and vendors. Faculty publish papers no one reads and vendors self-publish self-conducted research. We have to change this. If you do research, join in an informal, frank discussion about the state of ed tech research and help workshop two nascent ideas- a national clearinghouse of ed tech researchers and establishing data collection networks.
