Every EdTech product is unique, and so is its purpose in the classroom.
Every EdTech product is unique, and so is its purpose in the classroom. At Texas EdTech Review, we follow a consistent and research-informed evaluation framework to ensure fairness and quality across all products. However, we thoughtfully adjust specific criteria based on each product’s instructional goals, intended audience, and category. This ensures every solution is assessed within a relevant and meaningful context.
Whether a product is designed to support math instruction, early literacy, multilingual learners, or another area of need, our evaluation process accounts for both its function and its impact. By combining standardized review practices with category-specific considerations, we are able to provide an accurate, equitable assessment of each tool’s value to educators and students.
To honor and highlight excellence, we award our Seal of Approval at three distinct levels. Each seal reflects the quality, innovation, and impact a product demonstrates within its respective category.
