What is EdWords™?

No matter how long you’ve been in education, you’ve most likely stumbled over the meaning of a few education terms. That’s why we’ve created EdWords. EdWords is a series of web pages that go beyond the buzzwords in education and unpack them to discuss what the term means, how it’s used, how it can be put into practice, and examples of the term at work.
