In our latest episode, I welcome our Massachusetts Professional Learning Designer Elizabeth Birie to the show for a conversation about edtech implementation. Elizabeth reflects back on her firsthand experiences with edtech as a teacher, and some of the challenges educators face when implementing programs. We discuss how her experiences have informed the work Elizabeth has been doing at MIND—supporting teachers, schools, and students who are using our ST Math program. Over the past year, Elizabeth has also been lending her expertise to the [EdTech Genome Project](https://edtechevidence.org/AboutUs/TheGenomeProject/). Coordinated by the [EdTech Evidence Exchange](https://edtechevidence.org/), the EdTech Genome Project is "creating an evidence-based framework to help educators make better-informed decisions about which technologies to use in their classrooms and schools—and how to implement them most effectively." NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the release of the final EdTech Genome Project report, which has since been published.
