Implementing edtech effectively across the curriculum

After a year of disruption and innovation, where are you now with your edtech in the context of teaching and learning? Osi Ejiofor discusses how schools can effectively harness and implement technology across the curriculum

But has this been at the expense of other areas of learning, such as practical science, art, PE and design technology? It has according to the recent remote education research from Ofsted (2021).
