This presentation will look at how teaching and educational technology has and will continue to change during the Pandemic. When the pandemic hit, there was very little time to prepare for the move toward increasing use of technology. In many ways the world did not have the luxury of being concerned about impacts to pedagogy or privacy – we just dove in and started solving problems. As the pandemic continues it has brought a lot of focus on concerns for student privacy and ways to improve pedagogy. The speakers will discuss issues of pedagogy, privacy and technology in light of the pandemic.
