This topic brief is one in a series on personalized learning prepared for Conversations with Innovators, 2018. Today's students are generally quite tech savvy. Most learners own a smartphone or other digital device and spend several hours a day using media or on the Internet. Teachers are becoming more tech savvy as well. Seven in ten teachers report that educational technologies allow them to do "more than ever before" for their students (American Psychological Association, 2016), likely a good thing given that educational technology is an inevitable part of modern schooling. The U.S. Department of education encourages a culture of learning powered by technology (U.S. Department of Education, Office of Educational Technology, 2010), calling for the use of advanced technologies to improve student learning, accelerate and scale up the adoption of effective practices, and use data and information for continuous improvement. This brief discusses ideas on how technology can improve instruction and a number of tools that support that effort.
