Reflecting, by Elaine Freedman

Reflections on Technology in Schools in the time of Covid: Part 1

December 7, 2020

It’s a cliché to say that we can predict anything except the future, but like most clichés, it happens to be true! Therefore, regard these articles as a kind of thinking aloud, ruminations on technology to be aware of and ready for, with one or two suggestions thrown in.

The article covers:

  • Flipped learning

  • AR and VR

  • Technology availability

  • Management Information Systems

  • Test and trace.

“A major thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has done is to give us all a huge kick up the backside. We’ve had the technology to enable working from home for years, but there was not much incentive to implement it very widely. It’s a testament to the commitment and flexibility of companies and educational institutions that the educational system didn’t simply collapse. ”
— Terry Freedman
