Collection of Resources from the U.S. Department of Education

The United States Department of Education and, in particular, the Office of Educational Technology, created a number of resources that have been foundational in supporting developers, educators and decision-makers in fundamental areas of technology integration and implementation. Since February 2025, these resources are no longer available via the Department of Education. We believe that they contain important knowledge that deserves to be shared.

You can find a list of U.S. Department of Education Resources preserved in the ERIC database here.
