The New Normal: Delivering education in an evolving EdTech world

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.

It 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.

All of the sessions are now available to watch on catch-up, free of charge.
