Well done. About time.

The 14 year old creator of @edu_blocks demos the platform at #createedu #teachmeet #bett2019! In over 500 schools. Totally amazing. Oh, and he built it two years ago...when he was 12.
Quote of the day from @scoutu at the #EdWards2019 :

Emma Rogers and the team @Little_Bridge may have cracked how to teach English to children learning it as a second language: build a community where they can talk to one another, then automate instruction. 10k+ schools signed up and 60k families. Solid start.

Hold up. Did @Tassomai actually manage to build a real “adaptive” learning tool that’s more than just a buzzword? Looks like it! Nicely done. #EDUCATEdemoday

Can I just take a moment to notice the gender ratio among the founders pitching at #EDUCATEdemoday? 👏🏻 @EDUCATEldn – at Camberwell, London
Impressed by the work at @Tassomai in improving Science subject performance for students at all learning levels. Profitable for 2 years and getting ready to scale up with a heafty Series A. Seems quite promising.

Philipp Legner at @MathigonOrg has built one of the most impressive personalised mathematics learning tools in the #edtech startup space. 53k users this year without any marketing and with only one employee! Watch this one closely.

The team @MyPocketSkill giving their best demo yet at #EDUCATEdemoday. Have really enjoyed working with Matt and Zara to help this take shape! Their product is providing young people with employment opportunities to pickup crucial early career skills and earn extra cash.
Well done @connect2teach at #EDUCATEdemoday on opening doors to reinvent higher education delivery to map more directly to industry needs. This area needs more attention. Loads of #edtech opportunity.
Want to put cutting edge classroom tech in the hands of all teachers? Let’s stop cutting school funding.

What you measure in the early stages of your business can either drive your success or doom you to failure.
Measure the right stuff.

Hey @garyvee. I’ve been following your stuff since 2007. You have shaped my life and business. Two successful exits later, I’m now trying to pay it all back to the world and maximise my social impact. Let’s have a #garyveebreakfast and take this to the next level.

If you ever hear someone in #edtech say that “it is all about making as much money as you can” ... run.
If you aren’t in edtech to help improve the quality and accessibility of education, then get out of the sandbox.
It’s about sustainable impact.
