Research‑Driven | Human‑Centered | Ethically Designed
Mission
EdTech by Design advances educational practice through robust qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, and action research. We build research capacity for scholars, universities, and school systems by providing methodological expertise, QDAS training, and research driven professional learning. Through our work in TPACK and AI integrated instruction, we help educators design meaningful, ethical, and effective learning experiences. Our mission is to empower educational communities to generate, interpret, and apply high quality research that transforms teaching, learning, and student outcomes.
EdTech Foundations
Research & Development

Message from Founder &
Executive Director
I was what today calls an "early adopter" starting with a Casio pocket computer in the 90s while travelling Asia so I could have immediate access to pricing and costs when I met with clients and distributors as the Global Sales and Marketing Director at PMC Specialties Group (Sherwin Williams). I carried that passion (and dependence) for technology into my teaching career. However, at some point, the technology outpaced our adoption risking our efficiency and fidelity.
