Today, it is far too challenging for schools to determine if an edtech product is of sufficient quality to be used by teachers and students. Every school system must independently conduct a detailed review process for any app before it can be approved for use. Seven leading Edtech organizations—1EdTech, CAST, CoSN, Digital Promise, InnovateEDU, ISTE, and SETDA have developed a common set of edtech quality indicators based on years of research and input from education leaders, policymakers and industry indictors. In this session you will Learn about how edtech apps are being independently evaluated for quality for the Five Edtech Quality Indicators:

SAFE
EVIDENCE-BASED
INCLUSIVE
USABLE
INTEROPERABLE
