Education Technology Assessment

Assessing Today’s Technologyfor Tomorrow’s LearningTechnology is being used in exciting new ways to engage students

and improve student outcomes like never before! To help your

students and teachers be successful, technology in your school

must be an asset, not a roadblock – and definitely not a liability.

The Education Technology Assessment offered by All Covered goes beyond a typical IT audit and takes into consideration your educational goals and best practices in instructional technology in order to make recommendations that will truly make a difference in your school.

Through our careful, proven evaluation process, All Covered can help you answer pertinent questions, such as:

• What is your vision for the future of education?• How efficiently is your network keeping up with the demands placed on it?• How are you measuring the success of technology?• Is your school or district ready for online testing?• Are educational funds achieving the most efficient results?• How are mobile devices impacting your network?• Are you making the best use of technology in the classroom?• Do teachers receive sufficient training and support?• Can all students take advantage of new learning systems?• Is there a team in place to guide your technology decisions?

Features Instructional Technology First-generation interactive technologies have limited instructional capabilities. They have been superseded by interactive panels, interactive tables, and interactive wall units that wirelessly connect the front of the classroom directly to student devices for screen sharing, collaborative work, and formative assessment. This is student engagement at its finest – and it’s a piece of the puzzle we will assess, with the goal of helping you provide instructional technology and tools to support 21st Century best practices in classroom instruction.
