PAPERbasket helps educators improve the fidelity of their edtech resources, it also helps officials control edtech budgets. According to EdWeek, 2 out of every 5 edtech district officials rank budget their top concern for the next five years.There's an old adage that reads, "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it." Representing 25% of the annual spend for most schools' technology budgets, software and digital content represents an area that, for the most part, school officials have been traditionally unable to measure if resources are used, and exactly how much they're used, if at all. As industry reports show, logging into an ELA or Math platform is meaningless if the student doesn't actually "use" it. Reliance on "engagements", "hits" or "click-throughs" as many companies have tried, fails to give edtech leaders the data they need to measure fidelity of their efforts.Having seen this problem firsthand for many years, and seeing the lack of viable solutions in the market, PAPERbasket set out to help level the playing field. By knowing exactly how many licenses and hours your software and digital resources are being used at school, at home, or anywhere in between, officials can be empowered to make more strategic decisions about their digital learning efforts. The critical element is knowing exactly how much time was "active" and how much time was not.
