By utilizing LearnPlatform, educators within a school are able to easily share best practices for edtech tools, provide feedback on product effectiveness and measure student outcomes in a central, accessible place. This often leads to increased buying power on edtech products, a better understanding of what tools work best in the classroom and a larger amount of data to share with parents/guardians and PTO.
