(From Brookings) Recent studies suggest investments in education technology had little or no impact on student learning. A new report from NYU and the American Enterprise Institute maintains that COVID-related ed tech interventions were ineffective because schools failed to "understand the needs, infrastructure and capacity" of their schools in order to identify the appropriate solutions. In other words, schools jumped to solutions at the start of the pandemic without assessing their needs and preparedness to adopt that technology. Most importantly, the authors argue, schools are "going back to how education was delivered before the pandemic, instead of seizing the opportunity of the disruption to transform education."
