Technology can be a transformative tool for educators, helping to overcome Hurdles (obstacles) and take advantage of Accelerators (mega-trends). Tech Enablers support new pathways for teaching and learning and enable adaptation in the face of crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet technology itself is not the transformer of education. To help educators pilot the complex landscape of K-12 education and technology, CoSN’s Driving K-12 Innovation initiative convenes an Advisory Board of approximately 100 educational leaders, researchers, technologists, and changemakers to identify the most important Hurdles, Accelerators, and Tech Enablers for advancing K-12 innovation in 2020.

This report discusses the Top 5 Tech Enablers and provides a deep-dive into two topics—Digital Collaboration Platforms and Tools for Privacy and Safety Online. It also illuminates some of the connections between Hurdles, Accelerators, and Tech Enablers.
