Review Technology should not be viewed as a solution in isolation but rather as an integral part of curricular initiatives.30 Research using this systemic focus should be process-oriented and focused on change rather than just doing better within an older framework. Teachers must be partners in the process and must be able to exhibit a sense of ownership in both the innovation and the research process. The assessment puzzle is a convoluted one. As schools become better versed in the capabilities and practices supported by educational technologies, the technologies themselves can support school leaders as they evaluate the impacts of technology, make better-informed decisions, and communicate to stakeholders.
