Financial Investment in EdTech

American schools allocate between $26 to $41 billion annually on educational technology, a number projected to grow significantly, with the e-learning market reaching an expected $170 billion by 2030. While technology aims to alleviate administrative burdens and enhance learning experiences, concerns linger regarding its actual effectiveness. With student literacy and math scores remaining stagnant despite increased tech investment, the fundamental question arises: how can technology be leveraged to genuinely enhance education rather than merely fill budgets? The current state indicates potential misalignment between edtech promises and real educational outcomes.
