Get the Visibility You Need to Strengthen Your EdTech Ecosystem

When districts decide to purchase an edtech solution, it’s not just on a whim. Leaders recognize their staff need products that will make their jobs not just easier, but more efficient. The average district uses 2,739 distinct edtech tools every year, a staggering number that reflects both the demand for innovation and the pressure to modernize learning environments in a way that solves more problems than it creates.

But there’s a problem: With so many tools being juggled by educators, how are district leaders supposed to measure what’s actually working?

Two vital questions arise:

Are all acquired licenses being utilized by those who really need them?

And, perhaps even more importantly…

Are they even being used at all?

If a district cannot answer these inquiries, it’s possible thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars are quietly slipping out of their budget and into the trash.

With ESSER funding drying up and budgets tightening across the board, districts face important decisions about which tools to carry forward and make every dollar work harder. And that means knowing — not just assuming — which tools are delivering real value and which are just sitting idle. Not only that, but districts should also be ensuring they are asking the right questions about the solutions they purchase, including how AI is incorporated into the mix.

Optimizing your edtech ecosystem means more than just saving money. It’s about streamlining classroom tools, supporting staff, ensuring privacy policies stay aligned with district goals, and making it easier to evaluate real impact.

So…how can schools optimize their investment by shifting from guesswork to clear, data-driven decisions about their edtech ecosystem?
