Adopting the most effective technology tools can eliminate cumbersome, repetitive tasks (grading, attendance, assigning classwork/homework, etc.) so that teachers can invest more time in their students’ learning experience.

This can generate significant advantages such as increased attendance rates, higher levels of academic involvement, and enhanced student performance. Such advantages can provide schools with an invaluable competitive advantage!
