How can we use technology to amplify teaching?
A roundtable discussion
With downloads of EdTech tools in Australia surging by 190% in March 2020 according to our recent research paper with educational analyst, ImpactEd.
Technology has the potential to transform classrooms but only when it is designed and implemented in a way that focuses on improving outcomes for teachers and their students.
So as schools across Australia return to some normality, how do we ensure that the technology that we take back to the classroom is grounded in sound pedagogy and not simply replacing one process with another?

During the discussion our speakers delved into their own experiences to provide listeners with actionable and practical advice. That will help you when selecting and implementing the right tools and EdTech strategies for your school, including:
