For a balanced and informed look the impact of pandemic on the use of technology in schools, Neil Selwyn's piece in The Conversation is worth a read.

The Research Professor from Monash University writes that 'one of the few positive outcomes from this experience is an opportunity to rethink how digital technologies can be used to support teaching and learning in schools.'

But he argues the most interesting change is not that this is 'a tipping point after which schools will be pushed fully into digital education.

'On the contrary...the most compelling technology-related lessons to take from the pandemic involve the informal, improvised, scrappy digital practices that have helped teachers, students and parents get through school at home.

'All over the world, school shutdowns have seen teachers, students and families get together to achieve great things with relatively simple technologies.'
