In today’s digital classroom, technology abounds—but are we using it effectively? The TCEA Mastery Series on “Visible Learning with Ed Tech” addresses this critical question by bridging the gap between educational technology and evidence-based teaching practices.

Research consistently shows that technology alone doesn’t improve student outcomes. What matters is how we use technology to implement high-impact teaching strategies. John Hattie’s groundbreaking Visible Learning research identifies strategies with effect sizes above 0.4 as those that accelerate student learning beyond typical growth.

The first installment of this eight-part series, “Evidence to Impact,” introduces educators to this powerful framework. Rather than asking what technology can do with students, we explore what students can do with technology when guided by evidence-based approaches.

Key takeaways include:

• How to identify teaching strategies with the highest impact on student achievement
• Understanding the three phases of learning: Surface, Deep, and Transfer
• Matching the right strategy to each learning phase
• Implementing digital tools that amplify rather than replace effective teaching

As Miguel Guhlin notes in the series, “What the hand does, the mind remembers.” This philosophy underpins the entire approach—technology should enhance student engagement with content, not simply deliver it passively.

Whether you’re a classroom teacher looking to maximize impact, an instructional coach supporting teacher growth, or an administrator developing school-wide initiatives, this series provides practical, research-backed guidance for making educational technology truly effective.
