Manchester-based tech specialist Sync has launched a new, education-focused podcast with the aim of empowering educators by sharing real-life examples of the impact of EdTech in and out of the classroom.
The empowerED podcast brings together thought leaders from across the country to discuss their experiences with the successful integration of Apple technology within Multi Academy Trusts, independent schools, and extracurricular activities, all with the goal of effectively utilising devices to create more engaging and personalised learning experiences.
Sync supports schools across the UK, aiding in the adoption, deployment, and ongoing use of technology. Their work across the education sector has ranged from supporting in projects such as Oasis Horizons which saw over 30,000 iPad devices adopted across 52 academies, to working with universities like University Academy 92 to develop the digital presence of their Manchester campus, and even working with Guide Dogs Association for the Blind’s Tech for All scheme, delivering assistive technology to young people with visual impairments across the UK.
empowerED explores how technology can support educational institutions in addressing classroom equity, digital assessment, feedback, accessibility and more. All of this from real-life examples from educators and thought leaders in the industry.
Ricky Brown, Apple Professional Learning Specialist at Sync and empowerED presenter, said: “We are thrilled to introduce the empowerED series, providing educators with valuable insights into the evolving landscape of EdTech.”
“It’s so important to equip teachers with the necessary support to effectively utilise devices such as iPad, thereby maximising the benefits for students’ learning journeys. We hope that empowerED will serve as a source of inspiration, driving widespread adoption of innovative practices across the schools and academies.”
empowerED is available on all the major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Podcasts.
