Evaluating and Assessing Tools in the Digital Swamp by Michael Fullan and Katelyn Donnelly provides K–12 decision makers with a powerful tool for navigating the expanding digital swamp in order to accomplish deep learning outcomes. While the use of digital tools is widespread, many students lack sufficient skills to succeed in the rising learning revolution. As a result, educators need a powerful tool like the authors’ Digital Swamp Index (DSI) to wade through the swamp of digital innovations, which can cultivate achievement in education.
Educators will: • Ascertain the main components and subcomponents of the DSI • Consider what it means to get a green, amber green, amber red, or red rating on the DSI’s scale and read about examples for each of these color ratings across the spectrum
