Burch, Patricia; Good, Annalee
Phi Delta Kappan, v96 n5 p35-39 Feb 2015

How do districts and providers become partners in instruction, rather than adversaries in negotiation? These are increasingly critical questions as public school districts in the U.S. are under more pressure than ever to buy digital services and products.
