What are the factors to consider in selecting the resources relevant to the educators and students who will use the tool? As you navigate the process of selecting the most relevant ed tech resources for your school or district, it is important that they be effective for the educators and students who will utilize them. There are multiple factors to consider because you want everyone who will use the resources to be happy with the selection.

Identifying the right ed tech resources for your school district involves multiple steps and processes. To begin, it is always best to include multiple people and offices in the processes to ensure that need, service, added value, and cost are evaluated together. 

Selecting the right ed tech resources for your class, your school, or your system can be intimidating. Before even beginning the vetting and evaluation process of choosing the resource, collaboration needs to take place with all parties involved. Once that has taken place, there are multiple factors to consider. Those factors can be summarized into three main categories: function, form, and funding.
