A dim room, a pull-down screen, and a whirring overhead
projector. That's how I remember almost all of my high
school classes, and I'm not the only one. It may come as a
surprise to today's high school students that the most
efficient way to present something to a classroom in the early
2000s required the use of technology originally created in the
1870s.
Things are different now. New systems are being introduced that
are replacing the outdated learning management systems of years
past. Technological advancements are changing the way we commute,
communicate, and entertain ourselves—among other things.
Technology is also changing the way we learn and "EdTech"
is a rapidly growing sector that many new technology ventures are
taking advantage of. EdTech is engaging students in new ways while
creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs.
