The Edtech Toolbox
Engage with this unique podcast - each week one of our team of experts will explore from one to three favourite and impactful apps or platforms for learning and teaching. Sometimes we'll add downloadable resources and guides too.What makes this different is the way we use neuroscience and learning design models to explore and assess the value of the app to teaching and learning. We also include adult learning - the training game in particular - to the scope of our content and recommendations.We draw expert opinion and thought leadership from our diverse team from Ignite EdTech, from STEM to AR, learning design and communities of practice. We'll give you not just the bright and shiny, but solutions of substance too.
