]. Additionally, thedominance of authoritative publications equating EdTech with material tools like computers mayreinforce a narrow view of EdTech [4].One of the most widely adopted EdTech definitions is the 2008 definition offered by AECTdescribing EdTech as “the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improvingperformance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes andresources” [8], incorporating both hard and soft technologies. A review of the literature indicatesthat while some studies adopt this definition (e.g., [9]), others elaborate on it (e.g., [10]) orpropose their own definitions of EdTech (e.g., [11], [12]).In this research, EdTech is defined as tools, technologies, and resources [13] that are

When wecompleted the fifth focus group, we found that there was much repetition from the first fourinterviews, which suggested a point of data saturation. During the interview, the researchersintentionally recapped some of what they had heard in their own words and checked with theparticipants about these interpretations.
