Learners were asked what they would like to learn about in EdTech in the first week of school. This is what they said. (Duplicate answers have been taken out.)
From this list, it is clear that learners are interested in a wide range of EdTech topics. They are interested in learning how to create and use apps, how to make documents, presentations and posters online, how to use wifi, bluetooth and cloud technology, as well as how to make their own videos, music and logos. Learners also want to know more about coding and A.I., as well as how to use digital marketing to make money online. In addition, they are curious about understanding more complex topics such as rendering videos and setting up sensors. This list shows the limitless potential of EdTech and the eagerness of learners to explore it.
