The Connected Classroom: Understanding the Landscape of Technology Supports for Student-Centered Learning
Nellie Mae Education Foundation
Across the country, educators and leaders have adopted, adapted, created and implemented a broad range of technology supports to help deepen student-centered learning opportunities. To help Nellie Mae Education Foundation (the Foundation) best assist its grantees in effectively leveraging technology supports, it engaged Parthenon-EY to assess the education technology landscape and pinpoint the needs of education practitioners pursuing student-centered learning practices. Reflecting the diversity of approaches deployed by the Foundation's grantees, this report focused on three critical questions: (1) How are schools and districts currently using technology to support the implementation of student-centered learning? (2) What are the current gaps in the education technology market today? and (3) What current technology supports can be scaled up to support innovative models of student-centered learning in the future? Two video clips are also included: (1) Interview with Phil Vaccaro, Vice President of Parthenon-EY, discussing Parthenon-EY's approach to the research around technology and student-centered learning; and (2) Interveiw with Eileen Rudden, co-founder of Learn Launch, discussing technology supports around student-centered learning. [This report was co-produced by Parthenon-EY.]
