EdTech Tradeshows Take Education IT to New Levels of Learning

In an ever-increasing digital-driven world, advancements in technology are piloting innovative methods of educational delivery, opening up new and novel possibilities for more student learning and improved teaching. Education Technology, commonly referred to as EdTech, is not about superseding current approaches. Instead it is technology devoted to the development and application of tools (software and hardware) to increase the performance of the education system by simplifying communication, enhancing how students learn and streamlining time-consuming processes for educators, such as lesson planning and grade reporting.

Simply stated, EdTech is revolutionizing the nation’s education system, taking teaching and learning to new, forward-thinking levels. To stay current with advances, issues, and trends, organizations across the country host conferences curating key note speakers and workshops in which teachers and technology-involved personnel can both learn and network to improve their school’s EdTech departments and overall educational performance. Take a look at what’s already on tap for this year’s and next year’s EdTech seminars.
