Ed-tech, AI Incorporation in Classrooms and Mental Health Awareness: Takeaways from the Bett 2024 Conference
Date: Friday, February 16th, 12:15-13:00
Venue: Online
Language: English
Speaker: Erika D’Souza
Abstract
The Bett 2024 Conference was an opportunity to meet vendors, tech companies, students, educators and multinational government representatives who wished to discuss, expand and promote the future of education in the world. It also created an environment of exceptional learning with the addition of EdTech, and other innovation exhibition platforms that allowed conference attendees to explore the right solutions for the needs of their classroom, collaborate with likeminded educators and connect with the people that can bring it all to life. In this session, I will discuss the two most influential experiences I had at Bett 2024: TableTalks and Edtech. It was at these meetings that I got to interact with other educators from all over the world to discuss the vital issues such as how to navigate students’ mental and emotional health, as well as the role AI has to play in the future of education.
