Use student data to personalize learning: The concept isn’t new. Educators have been doing it as long as they’ve been in the classroom. The number of times children raise their hands in class is data; the percentage of students who missed the same question on a test is data. Where technology now plays a role is in scaling the use of data. Educational technology tools are gathering immense amounts of student data.

Every educator wants a classroom, whether in person or online, that is brimming with engaged learners and progress. While the curriculum and learning standards are of course important, you can’t simply put all of your focus on academics.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar.
