Maybe the Edtech Web recording should be visible as an endeavor to answer the call for more ‘significant discussions about the course of movement in training’.
Searching for better approaches for content creation and answering the proceeded with development of the webcast, with a revealed 11% of individuals in the UK paying attention to a digital recording consistently, Sophie concluded it would be the ideal medium by which to draw in teachers, trend-setters and any other person who might be keen on the future of edtech.
