About EdTechTeacher
Over the past few years, we have diversified our offerings and expanded our team, but our mission remains the same: to create relationships with educators to support their quest to enrich student learning experiences through emerging technologies and innovative models of classroom instruction.
From large school districts to small independent schools, we have experience with a wide range of educational settings and grade levels. If your school or district is trying to leverage new technologies to support student learning, we are excited to partner with you.
It started with Summer Workshops for teachers in a range of relevant topics then diversified to iPad Summits, Google Jamborees, Innovation Conferences, and Leadership Seminars. At EdTechTeacher, we are committed to what works and what’s next in education.

“EdTechTeacher has been one of the driving forces in Choate’s efforts to make effective use of technology in the service of great pedagogy. Their instructors have been regular contributors to our summer Technology and Learning Institute, and have helped our faculty better understand how technology tools empower students to learn in a more independent fashion. Also, we have sent a number of faculty to the EdTechTeacher annual conference in Boston since it regularly attracts some of the best minds in education. Both Tom Daccord and Justin Reich have been frequent advisers to me, personally, as Choate rolls out our major instructional technology initiatives.”
