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 18 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.

You can find me on twitter, bluesky and linkedin as well as my blog
