About:

This week we meet Betsy Corcoran, CEO and founder of Edsurge.com. Betsy was in New Zealand as the international keynote for the Education technology Summit at Massey University. We caught up to talk shop and to take a tour of a couple of Auckland schools. Edsurge write reviews on education technology and bring teachers and Ed-tech companies together to talk about what teachers need. Today Betsy talks about teacher agency, and how every school should choose the tools that best fit their context.

• Teacher agency

• How teachers and ed-tech leaders communicate

• How teachers decide what technology to use

• Why learning needs to be fun
