Teaching #marketsegmentation can be a challenge in the K-12 environment, with many teachers focusing on demographics of the consumer or the products/services of the company . By using the the "Jobs to be Done" framework, market segmentation is better defined. Here are a few resources to get you started: 1. The Christensen Institute: "Everyone has Jobs to Be Done in their lives—the progress they’re trying to make as they strive toward a goal or aspiration within particular circumstances." https://lnkd.in/euBx4q6m Additional Resources: Milkshake Study https://lnkd.in/eN_BZMqe 2. Strategyn: https://lnkd.in/ekNTUUsg. I think Tony Ulwick is THE most thoughtful leader on JTBD- "when applying Jobs-to-be-Done Theory, a market is defined as a job executor and the job that executor is trying to get done" A few Benefits from Strategyn's approach: -customer centric -JTBD remain constant, just solutions change, switching focus from solutions to what the customer is actually trying to achieve -An empirical approach to 'unmet needs" that leads to true innovation Additional Resources: Jobs to be Done: From Theory to Practice https://lnkd.in/eRtBFSn8 to learn more on how to implement Entrepreneurship in your K-12 school, please feel to reach out https://lnkd.in/e7YWSfnV

📢 2024 State EdTech Trends: Key Highlights The State Education Technology Directors Association (SETDA) has released its third annual State EdTech Trends report, discussing critical challenges and opportunities in edtech. 1. AI in Education Gaining Momentum States are increasingly supporting the responsible use of AI in schools, with 14% already having AI initiatives, up from 2% in 2023. 2. Cybersecurity is a Top Concern Cybersecurity remains the number one edtech priority, with rising concerns about AI-related vulnerabilities. However, fewer leaders believe their states provide adequate funding. 3. Funding Challenges as Pandemic Aid Expires With pandemic funds ending in October 2024, state leaders are anxious about maintaining edtech and connectivity, especially as home access remains a significant unmet need. 4. More Support for Equitable Edtech Needed While states are investing in edtech, only 38% provide guidance on Universal Design for Learning (UDL), highlighting the need for more inclusive practices. As the 2024-25 school year unfolds, School Device Coverage is here to help schools maintain reliable device coverage and ensure students stay connected to the technology they need. Together, we can create equitable, tech-rich learning environments. 📲 #Cybersecurity #SchoolDeviceCoverage #DeviceInsurance #Chromebook #iPad #Laptop #EdTech #SchoolDistrict #AI #FutureofEducation #Insurance #AIinEducation #EducationalTechnology #ChatGPT
