To harness the full potential of edtech, it is essential to have skilled and knowledgeable professionals who can guide and support its effective implementation and utilization. Enter the edtech coach.
An edtech coach is an individual who possesses a deep understanding of edtech tools and their pedagogical applications.

Effective edtech coaches possess a unique blend of technical expertise and pedagogical knowledge.
