It’s time for all of us to rise to the challenge of making open standards ubiquitous and effective-for the benefit of every student, every teacher, every institution of learning, and every supplier. Bell, Ed.D., Chief Information Officer, Fulton County Schools Add your organization’s voice to this important cause! “The TrustEd Apps Pledge positions education organizations to leverage our collective voice to require an even playing field when purchasing and implementing instructional tools." Open standards work, and they are widely available. They are the only viable way for institutions, governments, and suppliers to invest together to address today’s challenges and enable greater opportunities for innovation. Open standards are not just a better way.


School districts and universities that have put interoperability and data privacy enabled by open standards at the center of their edtech ecosystem requirements have been better able to support their faculty and students as they strive to make the most out of education technology. Students and teachers need a resilient, flexible, safe, and data-rich technology experience-whether in the classroom, online, or across both-that improves productivity, increases engagement, and facilitates student success.
