    On the 6th and 7th July we held a free two-day online EdTech festival. It was designed to support educators across the UK in bringing technology into every aspect of theiprofessional development as the ‘new normal’ for the delivery of education emerges. Thank you to everyone that joined us, we hope the sessions were insightful and engaging to watch.

    The EdTech Festival was an opportunity to hear from industry experts and high profile speakers, whose perspectives on learning technology are set to shape the future of education.There was also the opportunity to visit the virtual classroom and observe the utilisation of EdTech in action. Together we will examined the challenges ahead and were able to query the shape of things to come.

    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.

    The accordion below is organised via strands, simply:

    • Identify your area of interest
    • Browse the relevant sessions by time
    • Select the catch-up link to watch the recording of your chosen session
