SXSW EDU 2020

Is the Market Delivering on K-12 Ed-Tech Needs?

Description:

There’s often a disconnect between the kinds of products that districts want from the market and what vendors actually deliver. We’ll take a look at where this breakdown is occurring by diving into the data. We look at recent, nationwide surveys conducted by EdWeek Market Brief of K-12 officials of their ideal products, and by Whiteboard Advisors on how district officials are spending through a critical federal program -- Title IV -- on ed-tech, whole-child efforts and other programs.
