8. Implementation Success
How do you know if your implementation is effective?
School districts love to collect data to provide information to stakeholders when implementing new initiatives. The difficult part of collecting qualitative data is that deciding what to measure when implementing a digital community.

Teachers level of confidence and competence with digital tools, platforms and strategies play into how the device is implemented effectively in learning experiences. Using measures such as tests scores will not provide districts with appropriate evidence to measure success.
