Ed Tech Predictions for 2019

December 7, 2018

We all know the hazards of making predictions, but several brave companies and one school (so far) have thrown caution to the winds and done so!

I asked two main questions:

  1. What do you think will be the main things we'll be seeing in ed tech in 2019?

  2. What do you think will be the main ed tech challenges in 2019?

There are some really interesting and thought-provoking responses. As you’d expect, funding (or the lack of it) looms large as one of the challenges, and artificial intelligence is something that’s being thought about.

Anyway, make a cup of tea or coffee and have a good read-fest.

Thanks to the following organisations for responding to date:

  • BlueSky

  • Cypher Learning

  • EdLounge

  • GCSEPod

  • ICT Direct

  • Kognity

  • KUBO Robotics

  • Lego Education

  • Microsoft

  • St Theresa School
