Thank you to this week's sponsor:
Earlier this summer, Navitas Ventures launched the world's first Global EdTech Census, an initiative to map and profile education innovation and technology ecosystems around the world. With only 20 DAYS LEFT, and an ambitious goal to identify and connect 30,000 education companies from around the world, they need your help! If you or someone you know has an education technology company, make sure it’s counted this year. The Census is 10 simple questions which take no longer than 2 minutes to complete and you will be one of the first to receive the first annual report later this year. Just visit www.globaledtechcensus.org, complete the short form, and make sure your business makes it on the map! That’s www.globaledtechcensus.org.

The 24th Annual Conference of the Association for Learning Technology, taking place 5-7 September 2017, University of Liverpool, UK, will bring together practitioners, researchers and policy makers from across sectors. Together we will chart the development of Learning Technology from isolated islands of ‘innovation’ to becoming the new norm – and the challenges this entails for staff and learners alike. We will explore how we move from individual innovation to institutional integration at scale.

The Edtech Podcast supports the mission of WomenEd: #WomenEd is a grassroots movement which connects existing and aspiring leaders in education. Even though women dominate the workforce across all sectors of education there still remain gender inequalities, particularly at senior leadership level. The situation regarding BME leadership is even more dire considering the fact that the student population is becoming increasingly diverse. This situation is clearly unacceptable and rapid change is needed. #WomenEd will therefore campaign and use its collective power to make improvements, so that there is a more equitable balance in terms of gender and ethnicity at leadership level across all sectors of education. http://www.womened.org/
