This award-winning data analytics tool enables schools to analyze the efficacy of their technology investments and identify those students at risk of falling through the cracks\u2014all in real time.<\/p>\n<p>Seven districts varying in size participated in the project, including New Jersey\u2019s Morris Public School (MPS). This profile outlines the Morris team\u2019s initial objectives at the beginning of the program and the insights they gleaned after seeing and reviewing their application usage and engagement data.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"component component__title\">\n<span class=\"component__title__copy\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"component__title__title\"><br \/>\nUsing Data To Assess ROI<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>Like many school districts across the country, determining the cost per user of EdTech investments is critical to informing MPS\u2019s renewal and purchasing strategies. It has been difficult to calculate this amount without knowing the extent to which their paid applications and digital programs were being used by their students, especially this past year. At the onset of the project, the MPS team immediately began using Lightspeed Digital Insight to track application usage data across the district and identify which applications were being used and how often. Leveraging this data, they quickly learned which investments have been paying off for the district.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"component component__quote\"><p>\n<span class=\"component__quote__content\"><\/p>\n<p>We have a learning management system that costs us a lot of money, but I can see it is being used a lot. I\u2019m also really proud that all of our trending applications are approved by our Director of Curriculum and Instruction.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<footer class=\"component__quote__source\">\n<cite><br \/>\n<span class=\"component__quote__source__author\">Erica Hartman<\/span><span class=\"component__quote__source__title\">Director Of Instructional Technology<\/span>, <span class=\"component__quote__source__org\">Morris Public School<\/span><br \/>\n<\/cite><br \/>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"component component__title\">\n<span class=\"component__title__copy\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"component__title__title\"><br \/>\n Identifying Professional Development Best Practices<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>The team is also using the actionable data generated to identify professional development best practices and opportunities. For example, this past year the district rolled out a program called Gizmos to its science teachers because they needed a way to conduct online labs for their virtual students. Much to the Morris team\u2019s delight, they saw that the program was in their Top 20 Trending Applications list within the platform. Lightspeed Digital Insight helped to validate their technology investments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom a curricular lens, we are making decisions based on need and support both for teachers and students,\u201d said Brian Young, our Director of Curriculum and Instruction. \u201cFor us, it\u2019s not just a monetary investment in the platform itself. With Gizmos, for example, we hosted and paid for several professional development sessions. Looking at the usage data reaffirms that we are making effective decisions, and it shows me how valuable our teachers find that particular program for online science, investigation, and inquiry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lightspeed Digital Insight\u2019s application usage data also prompted Young and Hartman to closely examine what made the Gizmos deployment so successful and strategize how they can replicate its success. \u201cIt is very reassuring to see that we are getting our return on investment on not only the technology itself but also the trainings we do to enable our teachers,\u201d said Hartman.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"component component__title\">\n<span class=\"component__title__copy\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"component__title__title\"><br \/>\nTracking, Measuring, And Analyzing Student Engagement<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>Tracking and gaining a better understanding of student engagement in a digital learning environment has been another priority for MPS. Throughout the project, the MPS team reviewed their student engagement data to identify how often students were engaging with their digital tools, the time of day and days of the week students were engaging with their digital tools, and the duration of each engagement. Having insight into their application usage and engagement data also enabled Morris\u2019s team to identify apps with higher-than-expected engagements and then pinpoint professional development needs.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"component component__quote\"><p>\n<span class=\"component__quote__content\"><\/p>\n<p>When we see excitement around a platform in the form of usage data, we should build upon that. Let\u2019s improve the learning process even more by leveraging an asset-driven professional development approach.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<footer class=\"component__quote__source\">\n<cite><br \/>\n<span class=\"component__quote__source__author\">Mackey Pendergrast<\/span><span class=\"component__quote__source__title\">Superintendent<\/span>, <span class=\"component__quote__source__org\">Morris Public School<\/span><br \/>\n<\/cite><br \/>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"--col-gap: var(--col-gap-sm);\">\n<div class=\"component component__row row component__row__two-col\" style=\"--row-align-i: center;\">\n<div class=\"col__6 col__md col component component__col col__image\">\n<figure class=\"component component__image\">\n<picture class=\"component__image__inner rounded shadow__none\">\n<!--[if IE 9]><video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source data-srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/digital-promise_logo.png.webp\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><source data-srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/digital-promise_logo.png\" type=\"image\/png\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><img loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"attachment-large size-large lazyload\" data-aspectratio=\"2.42361111111\" data-parent-container=\".component__image__inner\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/digital-promise_logo.png\" data-srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/digital-promise_logo-300x124.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/digital-promise_logo-300x124.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/digital-promise_logo.png 349w\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" height=\"144\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/digital-promise_logo.png\" width=\"349\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col__6 col__md col component component__col\">\n<div class=\"component component__text\">\n<p>Digital Promise works at the intersection of education leaders, researchers, and technology developers to improve learning opportunities for all and close the Digital Learning Gap.
