To quickly gauge the impact a tool can have, consider a student's perspective. Check to see that there are testimonials where a student enthusiastically describes a new concept they learned, elaborating on how their perspective on an issue changed or interesting problems they are learning to solve. Also consider running a demo as a student would, exploring the experience from the perspective of three different student personas (e.g., an English language learner, an advanced reader, and a student with ADHD). When assessing from the students’ perspectives, determine if this tool you are investigating will meet their varying needs, and if so, what protocols, modifications, or settings you will need to put in place. - from Shveta Miller, educator #EdTech #Tech #Education #TechTools #TeacherTip #TeacherTips
