The buzz at Bett and other education trade shows in 2024 has been about edtech supporting teachers, streamlining assessment and reducing workload. Software and AI are fast becoming the focus of edtech. Damian Hinds has rightly made it his crusade to highlight the importance of edtech in teaching. As advanced as it is, technology cannot replace good teaching or assessment but can enhance the classroom experience.
