I have worked around education and technology for eight years and have often felt frustrated that the two have not been combined more effectively to do great things – I was therefore delighted to be involved in curating the 2013 Nominet Trust 100 (NT100 – a list of 100 inspiring digital projects tackling the world’s most pressing social issues), to celebrate those ventures that have. So, what were my favourites?
There are many enterprises featured on Nominet Trust’s Social Tech Guide that are disrupting conventional approaches to education, but for me it is important that innovation in this area is enabling teachers to do things that were previously inconceivable, and preferably at scale. Two that stand out in achieving that scale are Coursera and Khan Academy.
