Edtech gatherings that attract more than 1,000 attendees, such as LearnLaunch’s Across Boundaries Conference last week in Boston, are usually echo chambers of hubbub and hoopla about technology’s potential to transform education. Throughout the conference sessions, there were no shortages of ideas on how to address those issues.

Perhaps one of the few areas of overlap was that three of the four conferences featured the similar talk by Andreas Schleicher, OECD’s education lead, who shared snippets from his team’s latest “Trends Shaping Education” report. There was also an “edtech surgery” where startups could seek advice from experienced educators.

For many teachers, edtech conferences are a major highlight of the school year and a great opportunity to connect with fellow educators. From lesson creation to assessment and gamification, there is something for K-12 schools, universities, vocational schools, and so on depending on the purpose of the conference.

With all of that said, I did find that there was also a missing element to this year’s conference. “EdTech” should not be solely about building fun toys that “trick” students into learning the same things they were learning before. This, to me, is what we need more of in EdTech.
