Educational technology specialists are trained in introducing and applying technology that enhances a school’s educational reach and efficacy. They work in consultation with students, teachers and administrators, who can voice their wants and needs. In other words, they’re not the same as IT staffers. In reality, schools need both IT and EdTech staff, and there needs to be a cooperative spirit between the two so that IT can focus on keeping technology safe and running and EdTech can focus on effectively integrating technology tools into the curriculum.
