This week we had a great chat with Education Alliance Finland. Education Alliance Finland (EAF) provides a product evaluation & certification service based on global quality standards for learning solutions. They look critically at all aspects of education technology products through the lens of best teaching and learning (and UI, UX, etc.)
You may ask, ‘Why Finland?’
Finland is often seen as the gold standard in education systems. It is a shift that began 40+ years ago and is heavily based on research, application, and the prestige of the profession. This excellent article from Smithsonian Magazine highlights many of the components that stand out.
We asked EAF to share a few of their insights on the world of education technology. Specifically, as a teacher, how do I wade through the many shiny objects to find the best tech tools for my classroom or organization? Olli and Saila from EAF shared five important tips. Below is a checklist for you to use on your evaluation journey. Watch the Office Hours Recording to learn more about their work and these tips.
