Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona\u2014The U.S. Department of Education unveiled a new education technology developer\u2019s guide [on 4\/7\/15] during the annual ASU+GSV Summit conference here.<\/p>\n

In remarks at the conference, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan urged developers to consider the needs of disadvantaged students, so that they are not left behind as more schools adopt new tools that advance teaching and learning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the technology revolution only happens for families that already have money and education, then it\u2019s not really a revolution,\u201d Duncan said.<\/p>\n

Duncan announced the developer\u2019s guide during a speech at the ASU+GSV Summit<\/a>, , a gathering of about 2,500 people interested in innovation in education. The free guide, available for download at tech.ed.gov\/developers<\/a>, is the result of two years of research by Department of Education officials, who interviewed educators, entrepreneurs, parents and students. Its goal is to help technology developers better understand the key needs of the nation\u2019s school system. It identifies 10 \u201cpersistent problems in education,\u201d among them increasing family engagement, improving professional development for teachers, creating tests that accurately measure what students have learned, and closing achievement gaps.<\/p>\n
