The term “education technology,” also known as EdTech, is a modern technological application. Edtech has become incredibly popular since 2019, offering a vast range of opportunities for people worldwide. EdTech is beneficial for students, teachers and people looking for new skills and personal growth.
EdTech covers various technologies, such as online learning through mobile apps, interactive whiteboards as well as projection screens in the classroom. Numerous changes have been made during the last few years, and we will see how the industry evolves this year, making it easier for anyone to get a new occupation or pick up a new hobby just by having a phone or tablet.
While EdTech made education much more accessible and engaging, over 100 apps are entering the market in one month, making it hard for people to choose where to start. This guide will describe some of the most popular applications you should consider in 2023.
