8. From EdTech to PedTech: Exploring technology and pedagogy with Peter Twining and Olivia Sumpter

Bedrock Talks from Bedrock Learning

Dive into educational technology with Peter Twining as we unravel the complexities of edtech's role in our classrooms. Peter, a seasoned expert in education and pedagogy, joins Olivia, the Director of Education at Bedrock Learning, and our usual host, Andy Sammons, to offer a nuanced perspective on the challenges and promises of integrating technology within educational systems. The conversation blends academic research with practical wisdom, helping educators to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of learning and technology.
Dive head-first into the heart of how educational beliefs shape the deployment of technology in our schools. The discussion with Peter and Olivia brings to light the different influences on student motivation, teacher autonomy, and classroom dynamics. The guests share stories and insights that reveal just how pivotal pedagogical alignment is, not just for the effectiveness of edtech, but for staying true to the values we hold dear in our educational journeys.
Our guests leave us pondering the role of human competencies in an AI-driven world and challenge the one-size-fits-all approach of standardised education systems. The conversation also empowers educational leaders to drive technology choices with pedagogical outcomes at the forefront, fostering on-demand mindsets and informed technology use among students. Together, we underscore the necessity of a systemic shift—a change that recognises the individuality of teachers and students alike, and one that can truly harness the transformative power of educational technology.
