Educational technology (EdTech) adoption in low-resource settings has been a topic of interest for researchers and practitioners alike. This qualitative study employed semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis among a sample of educators and students from selected low-resource schools across Kenya. A key finding was that while many teachers reported difficulties with internet connectivity and device maintenance, they saw significant improvements in student engagement and learning outcomes when EdTech was used effectively. The study concluded that while there are challenges associated with the implementation of EdTech in low-resource settings, effective integration can lead to positive educational impacts. Educators should be provided with training on using EdTech tools efficiently and schools need better infrastructure support to facilitate the use of digital resources effectively.
