About the News Desk

EdTech Wire is the in-house news desk at SmartOnlineGames. We summarize K-12 education and educational-technology news for parents and teachers in plain language, with a focus on what each story actually means for kids in classrooms today.

This is an editorial team byline rather than an individual writer. Every post is researched and written internally, paraphrased from primary sources, and credited with a direct link to the original reporting at the bottom of the article. We do not republish source content verbatim.

What we cover

Editorial approach

• Plain language first. If a story needs jargon to make sense, we explain the jargon.
• Original wording. We summarize and paraphrase rather than quote at length. Where direct quotes appear, they are brief and clearly attributed.
• Source credit on every post. Each Wire post links to the original publication at the bottom so you can read the full reporting yourself.
• No outbound links inside the homepage news section. External links only appear at the end of individual posts, after our summary.
• K-8 lens. We focus on what stories mean for elementary and middle-school kids, even when the source is reporting on a broader topic.

Corrections & standards

Every Wire post is reviewed before publishing. If we get something wrong, we correct the post and note the change at the bottom. Our broader content review process is documented in our Editorial Standards page.
