Digital transformation success depends on how technology supports teaching and learning, not merely on the tech itself. The study documents digital instructional strategies teachers employ to enhance and transform student learning, aligning them with learning research. The authors used focus groups, interviews, classroom observations, and teacher surveys across seven exemplary U.S. schools to capture digital instructional practices. Six common digital strategies were identified, along with five roles of technology that enhance teaching and learning, highlighting benefits for teachers and students.
A successful digital conversion for classrooms, districts, and states is not determined by the technology, but by how technology enables teaching and learning. The purpose of our multisite case study was to document digital instructional strategies teachers use to enhance and transform student learning, and align that use with learning research. We conducted focus groups and interviews, and observed classrooms in seven exemplary schools across the United States. We surveyed teachers' familiarity, use, and comfort with technology as well. We document six common strategies used across the seven sites and identify five roles that technology plays in enhancing teaching and learning, and discuss how these strategies benefit teachers and learners.
