EdTech 10: 21st Century Student Success

This week’s roundup of EdTech stories features stories around different ways to set today’s students up for success–from the technology we provide them for everyday learning to the ESSA accountability regulations we’re holding schools and states to.
This all coincides with a campaign and several recent publications we’ve launched: It’s a Project Based World (students and PBL); Supporting English Language Learners with Next-Gen Tools (students and language proficiency); and Getting Smart on Global Education and Equity (students and global education).
