Slides from the webinar, "What the History of Education Technology Teaches us about Pandemic Teaching."
Date: 29 September 2020
Widespread school closures are unprecedented, but the use of education technology and online learning to reach across distances, teach refugee and disaster-impacted communities, and expand the possibilities of schooling is quite common.

He argues that education technology has never sweepingly transformed schools, but there are specific tools and approaches that work well in certain subjects with certain students.
