It is hard for smaller districts to transform to digital teaching and learning; they have limited personnel, less help from vendors, limited funds, and limited connectivity. The BLEgroup is comprised of 180 leading ed tech practitioners; superintendents, directors of curriculum, and directors of technology. The BLEgroup specializes in supporting the leaders of smaller districts to make the transformation to digital teaching and learning and guide them in addressing the new common core standards.

Why now?
  • By 2015 all districts have to do online testing for the Common Core.
  • Instructional material are now digital - how do you choose them?
  • Adaptive assessment and instruction is necessary for the common core standards.
  • Technology infrastructure is inadequate.
  • Management and policies are the key.
