Districts invest heavily in EdTech, yet many tools fail to gain meaningful classroom adoption. This session explores the implementation gap between purchasing technology and using it effectively. Participants will examine common barriers to adoption and learn practical strategies to build sustainable systems that support teachers, align with instruction, and increase usage. Designed for technology leaders seeking to move beyond tools and focus on long-term impact. Additional Information This session is informed by direct experience supporting EdTech implementation in a 1:1 high school environment that serves more than 2,000 students and 250 staff members. My work focuses on the gap between purchasing technology and achieving meaningful classroom use. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for improving adoption through instructional alignment, support structures, and implementation monitoring. This perspective is especially relevant for technology leaders seeking stronger returns on digital learning investments. Essential Skill Leadership & Vision
