π 25 Years of OU/Ed Tech β 2020: The Online Pivot
I know people like to say Ed Tech wonβt save you, and that is a good antidote to the ed tech saviour hype, but in 2020 educational technologists really did save education (by which I donβt mean silicon valley profiteers, but the small teams within unis, colleges, schools, etc). People who were often buffeted around an institution, not treated with appropriate respect and under-resourced were suddenly called upon to keep the whole thing going. Thatβs a hell of a spotlight shift.
