A point of clarification, is the symposium is about ed tech in particular or innovation in education more generally? It seems to be education more generally but wanted to check. Thanks.
Thanks for your comment. The symposium will address educational innovation in general. There will be papers on educational technology innovation but it’s not the primary focus of the symposium. We would love to have you join us.
