Research

Materials Matter Infographic From Digital Promise

Researchers tend to study tools, activities, and learning outcomes as interacting parts of the same equation. By considering these elements together, we can keep a careful eye on how we are supporting students and enhancing learning in our classrooms.

Dive into the research and apply these lessons to your own practice: identify the learning that you hope to support, and use the tools that deepen those activities.
