Education Technology
Education technology offers new and promising ways to expand access to educational opportunities for all learners. Yet, when selecting and implementing new technologies, administrators and educators need clear and accurate information to make educated decisions about appropriate technologies for their schools. IES initiatives support research and describe how to use education technology to personalize student learning and improve instruction, assessment, and school administration.
