EdTech in 2020: How Media Is Covering the Beat

Description:

EdTech journalists cover the latest trends and innovations at the intersection of education and technology that influence teachers, parents, school districts and policy makers. At the beginning of the pandemic education technology companies first instinct was to make all their offerings free, leaving journalists overwhelmed with the options now available to parents and students. Join us to discuss how the edtech beat changed because of the pandemic, and what journalists are focused on now.
