Supporting Schools and Learners with Technology in ELT
Technology has the power to shape and enhance all learning experiences, but there are many factors to consider when designing, choosing, and using it for all types of classrooms. Most importantly, schools need to support all stakeholders – including teachers, learners, administrators, and parents of young students – to ensure they understand how new technology is beneficial to all.
Join ELT industry experts for a conversation about the theory behind and the practical implications of implementing technology to support English courses. National Geographic Learning academic consultant Andy Duenas will be joined by Lewis Readman, Senior Learning Experience Manager at Apollo English, and Matt Nespoli, Vice President of Technology at National Geographic Learning, based in Boston. We’ll explore the research that informs Edutech development and the practical considerations of using technology at one of the pioneer private language schools using EduTech in Vietnam.
