    Key Factors for Conducting Your Own Tech Assessment

    Teacher Efficacy


    Evaluate teachers' confidence and proficiency in using technology to enhance student learning. Consider their ability to integrate technology, the support they receive during implementation, their comfort with the tools, and their ability to use technology for differentiated instruction. When teachers feel confident using classroom technology, learning outcomes improve.


    Student Engagement


    Assess students' attention, curiosity, and interest in learning when technology is used. Measure engagement through student feedback, their sense of belonging, classroom climate, interest in content, and lesson relevance. Look for indicators such as peer collaboration during learning activities to evaluate true engagement.


    Accessibility


    Ensure all students have access to technology that meets their learning needs. Evaluate the infrastructure supporting technology use and incorporate Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles in instructional practices and technology integration to accommodate diverse learners.


    By focusing on these three pivotal variables—teacher efficacy, student engagement, and accessibility—you can effectively assess the impact of educational technology in schools. These factors form the foundation for understanding how technology can improve learning, ensuring that EdTech investments truly benefit students.
