Welcome to the Edtegrationist
This project is a call to the imagination– to get schools beyond traditional, siloed “EdTech provision modes” into something human-focused, continuous and transformative.
Edtegration™ is a methodology that facilitates learning communities in finding and solving core EdTech value delivery problems within K-12 schools.
It is evidence-based and people-focused, not technology focused.
It examines how stakeholders are oriented, trained and supported in collaborative pattern recognition, peer learning, and contextually grounded strategic development to leverage learning technologies.
It embraids lean-agile project and change management principles to practically and sustainably focus on delivering the benefits of collective efficacy– the #1 correlate of student achievement growth.
Edtegration is NOT:
A top-down EdTech initiative
Focused on devices, systems, software or apps
Only for schools with ideal conditions
Edtegration started with a question:
How do I turn middle school EdTech stakeholders from being reactive and acted upon to active collaborators in strategic learning ecosystem design?
The biggest challenge with any EdTech integration is almost always cultural– changing stakeholder behavior. The Edtegration project re-imagines EdTech integration as conversational and invitational– something done with people, not to people:
The core idea is to use questions around themes that act as "contemplates"—points of departure or prompts—that allow readers to examine their own reality and experiences through a new lens.
The aim of the contemplates is to help people "persuade themselves" by providing "analytic perspectives and straight information," rather than telling them "this is how it should be," or “what to do”.
These provocative elements are a part of the set of Edtegration models, mindsets and methods of how to innovatively and sustainably ask and answer the question “Where can we get from here?”
You can find more on the model at edtegration.org coming in December 2025. It’s all free in the service of advancing student achievement by changing the conversation around how technology is integrated collaboratively in schools. I hope you find it interesting and useful. Feedback welcome.
