What role does tech play now and what will the future be?
Tech is an enabler. How do we use that?
A lot out there already. Access and awareness
Unitech they prefer face to face. Understand student need. Put student at centre
The further you go up the education system the slower the change. Scale makes it hard
People are taking things into their own hands. Don't have to wait for the govt to do anything
Democratisation of tech.
Ormiston college, going to industry and saying what is your problem and our students can solve it
Involve parents in that conversation as well
Long division, had lots of different inputs, teacher, book, father etc. Need a few different solutions. We focus to much in trying to find a solution that encompasses all solutions
Digital access still a problem. Need laptops and WiFi. Some basics still need to be solved
Do we still need universities?
Large part of education getting a job, but not just that, research, coming together and learning together. People important
Uni have a role to play, but can choose not to too. Not the only place, lots more options now
Use tech to present options. Learning City Chch there to do just that.

Microsoft AI for blind , can read texts for them, tell them what is in a room

Access the biggest issue
We have to reskill our own workforce. Have to refresh pd.

Use phones, don't ban them. Embrace tech and use it in the right way
