Disruption Ain't What it Used to Be

Gavin Dudeney's talk from the Annual IATEFL conference in Liverpool in April 2019.

 Identifying new technology developments feeds in to many areas of our profession: from investment in hardware at a school level, to investment in materials on the publisher side, from the curricula of teacher training programmes, to the hiring policies of centre managers. All of these areas can be – and indeed have been – affected by technology innovations in recent years.

In his talk Gavin Dudeney takes a closer look at some of the most-hyped tools and services currently in the news in education, and examines what they offer, if they are needed, and where they might impact on what happens on the ground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYUPxlIQmtQ&fbclid=IwAR0qPFBaj2JHh5KNaYhCLCwYlo4hGUtrheL1kvFd-vMZZaPgIlRtanLvoQ8
