EdTech People Podcast
The past, present and future of technology in education from the people who make it happen.
EdTech People Podcast – Hosted by Matthew Setchell
Working in education IT support for over 19 years I have met and interacted with many who share a passion for supporting, enabling and using technologies that engage learners and teachers alike. In these 1 hour (ish) chats with those who come from all different careers and from across the world but all working within education, it’s about what’s happened, what’s happening and what will happen next.
