Presented by the Innovations in Special Education Technology Division (ISET) 

The educational technology (EdTech) industry is currently in its 4.0 stage, with advancements in emerging technology tools - like AI, AR/VR, Big Data, Machine Learning, and others illuminating new possibilities in the field of education. While these developments hold immense potential for educational transformation, challenges such as curriculum design, user experience and safety, and implementation fidelity are critical for desirable technology integration in practice. During this session, we will share how to gain a deep and broad understanding of how technology can be used in education.

At the end of the session, the participants will be able to:

1. Understand the EdTech Research and Development (R&D) process
2. Describe critical aspects and components of effective EdTech programs and products
3. Identify evidence-based EdTech programs and products for their schools and classrooms
4. Identify ways to use, integrate, and/or develop technology-based instruction for students with or at risk for disabilities
