The Triple E Framework, developed in 2011 by Professor Liz Kolb at the University of Michigan, School of Education, was created to address the desire for K-12 educators to bridge research on education technologies and teaching practice in the classroom.   

There are decades of reliable and useful research that provides guidelines on effective practices when using technology tools for eliciting learning growth.  

The research clearly points out that effective technology integration begins with good instructional strategies and not fancy tools.  The Triple E Framework was designed for educators to easily evaluate how to select tools to meet their learning goals, and ultimate design learning experiences so the tools have a positive impact on student achievement and learning outcomes.
