From apps that are aspiring to
be the Uber of supply teaching,
to cutting-edge platforms and
assessment tools allowing
school data to be analysed in
innovative new ways, many
EdTech companies are aiming to
enhance teaching and learning
experiences across the UK and
in doing so, transform the way
that schools operate – saving
them both time and money. As
well as playing a unprecedented
role in helping to raise standards
of attainment; and improving the
quality of what is taught and how
it is taught.

special - ASU
GSV Summit 17
Edtech trends
Sandy Speicher, Managing Director, Ideo
Education Practice
Working with organizations across the
public, private, and social sectors, Sandy is
constantly exploring ways that we can
design more effective and inspiring
systems. She and her teams have helped
to create a scalable, affordable school
model in Peru, strategies to improve
schools for the poor in India, digital
learning platforms that meet the needs of
today’s students, and a new vision for the
food system in San Francisco’s schools.
Recently, she collaborated with Carnegie
Corporation to launch 100k in 10, which
President Clinton has referred to as a new
model for social change.
Why is affordable education
controversial?
Why is design thinking gaining
traction in education?
What’s your biggest priority and
challenge right now?
What inspires you?
