While teachers who have experienced a lot of “fad” programs tend to be wary of new technology implementations, they’re are also more likely to embrace changes that they contributed to or had a say in.

Ed tech initiatives should be focused on how to improve students’ experiences, and the students themselves should be included in the implementation.
