The future is here, and technology plays an increasingly large role in teaching and learning. But why? Like so many things, technology is a better servant than a master. The CEO of Moomin Language School, Anu Guttorm, is joined by EdTech guru Olli Vallo for a conversation about the ups and downs of learning technology, especially when it comes to language learning. What are the benefits of using technology in teaching languages? What are the challenges? What can technology replace, and what can it not? What does a good EdTech product look like? What should teachers consider when they are choosing a product?
