After 2021 – the year of experimentation – this episode talks all things #edtech, looking at examples of recent best practice and the elements that are crucial to successful technology use in schools.
We offer tips to teachers on risk-taking with edtech, making their use of edtech effective, as well as making a success of hybrid learning.
Our panel discuss confidence-building, edtech trends, CPD and training, good edtech leadership, supporting parent engagement with and via technology, and the growing use of online assessment.
We get some tips on where teachers can look for innovative approaches and what developments our panelists are looking forward to seeing when it comes to edtech in 2022. We also ask what edtech skills and CPD teachers should be prioritising in 2022.
