Tips & Tools for Making Smart Edtech Buying Decisions

Part 1: March 21, 2019, at 11 am CST

Part 2: March 28, 2019, at 11 am CST

Following release of the Educator’s Guide to Better EdTech Buying: A Practical Guide (produced by Project Unicorn & ISTE), join us for a two-part webinar to learn more about processes and tools to enable your edtech procurement framework. Discover what steps you can take to support decisions that are methodical and driven by teacher experience, district requirements, and data.

This two-part webinar will help educators understand how they can provide more equitable access to high-quality learning technologies.
