    Catch up on the EdTech Festival Sessions 

    From the 28th - 31st March we hosted the EdTech festival 2022, which was designed to inspire educators to integrate technology into their practice, and in turn enhance opportunities and outcomes for young people.

    This year's festival focus was on the continuing role of EdTech in the post-pandemic reality in which we find ourselves. The EdTech Festival was an opportunity to hear from industry experts and high profile speakers, as they explored the opportunities that our brave new digital world affords to educators and learners. Together we will examine the challenges we've faced over the past year and how we can continue to stay a step ahead of the curve moving forward. 

    Thank you to everyone that joined us, we hope the sessions were insightful and engaging to watch. For those who were unable to attend, or who want to re-watch certain session, all of the footage is now available to watch free of charge.
